Central auditory processing in patients with spinocerebellar ataxia.

Background: Autosomal dominant spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs) are a group of rare and heterogeneous neurodegenerative diseases characterized by the presence of progressive cerebellar ataxia. Although the symptomatology of SCAs is well known, information regarding central auditory functioning in these patients is lacking. Therefore, we assessed the central auditory processing disorders (CAPD) in patients with different subtypes of SCA.

Vestibular findings in autosomal recessive ataxia.

Objective: This study aims to examine vestibular disorders in patients with recessive spinocerebellar ataxia.
