摘要

ARSACS (Autosomal Recessive Spastic Ataxia of Charlevoix Saguenay) is a neurodegenerative disease resulting from mutation in the SACS gene. Although it classically presents with the triad of ataxia, spasticity and peripheral neuropathy, it is known to have variability in clinical presentation, progression and severity. We report two atypical cases of ARSACS (both without spasticity) and one presenting with focal epilepsy (another rare clinical manifestation).
