title: Mania in two sisters with similar cerebellar disturbance.
abstract: The authors describe two sisters who presented with a clinical picture consistent with mania. On further investigation, both had marked vermian and cerebellar cortical atrophy on CAT scans. Their mother also had a history suggestive of cerebellar disease. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first report of familial cerebellar disease with a clinical presentation of mania.
