Abstract:
:Two siblings are presented with late onset, rapidly progressive truncal ataxia, paralysis of down-gaze and loss of up-gaze saccades in association with other oculomotor dysfunctions as well as dementia. Electron microscopic muscle studies revealed abnormal distribution and form of the mitochondria, probably being the ultrastructural basis of the pathologic changes. A neurological syndrome as that described here has not been reported before.
