Summary

This study presents five cases of ataxic cerebral palsy, highlighting diverse neurological presentations and imaging findings. The cases underscore that ataxic cerebral palsy encompasses various conditions with initial hypotonia evolving into ataxic symptoms.

Context:

Ataxic cerebral palsy is a clinical diagnosis encompassing diverse etiologies.
Early-onset hypotonia progressing to ataxic gait is a common presentation.
Brain imaging plays a crucial role in differentiating subtypes.

Purpose:

To present five distinct cases diagnosed with ataxic cerebral palsy.
To correlate clinical symptoms with neuroimaging findings (MRI and CT).
To illustrate the heterogeneity of conditions presenting as ataxic cerebral palsy.

Summary:

Case 1: Early-onset inherited cerebellar ataxia with cerebellar and pontine atrophy.
Case 2: Cerebellar atrophy in a child with early-onset ataxic gait.
Case 3 & 4: Spino-ponto-cerebellar atrophy diagnosed as Marinesco-Sjörgren syndrome.

Case 5: Cranium bifidum and medullar velum agenesis associated with ataxic symptoms.

Impact:

Highlights the broad spectrum of neurological disorders classified under ataxic cerebral palsy.
Emphasizes the importance of detailed neuroimaging for accurate diagnosis and subtyping.
Contributes to understanding the varied etiologies and clinical trajectories of early-onset ataxia.
