Abstract:
Eight patients affected by Ataxia-Teleangectasia (AT) were studied with a set of neurophysiological tests. The study was done two times between 2 and 10 years. The most characteristic feature was a severe involvement of the posterior spinal cord: it was associated with a moderate peripheral neuropathy as well as a severe peripheral neuropathy. These data could indicate that the dying back phenomena are not the only pathogenetic basis of the spinal cord degeneration in this disease.
