[Incomplete Bardet-Biedl syndrome associated with cerebellar ataxia]

A case of incomplete Bardet-Biedl syndrome was observed in a woman aged 33 years. The syndrome was associated with cerebellar atrophy. The authors suggest that the pathogenetic cause of the syndrome was a teratogenic effect of quinine during organogenesis while cerebellar atrophy was due probably to metabolic disturbances.
