Abstract

Autosomal recessive spastic ataxia of Charlevoix-Saguenay is a rare neurodegenerative disorder caused by homozygous mutations in SACSgene. We present finding on MR imaging in 2 adult Italian siblings. According to the literature we have described same of typical MRI finding of autosomal recessive spastic ataxia of Charlevoix-Saguenay disease. We found slight differences in neuroimaging pattern in our patients with a similar genotype but different age and clinical severity, this suggest that brain MRI may provide potential biomarkers to assess disease progression.
