Vitamin E-deficient spinocerebellar syndrome due to intestinal lymphangiectasia.
A 23-year-old woman with congenital intestinal lymphangiectasia developed a progressive spinocerebellar syndrome and neuropathy. The clinical findings were typical of vitamin E deficiency, which was documented in the patient. Intestinal lymphangiectasia is an additional vitamin E-deficient disease that may cause this neurologic syndrome.
