title: [Recessive autosomal spastic ataxia].
abstract: The authors report the case of a 12 year-old child who presented with a syndrome, isolated in Quebec, including spasticity, ataxia, distal muscle wasting, pes cavus, retinal striation, and the frequent presence of a prolapse of the mitral valve. This autosomal recessive disease is similar to Friedreich disease.
