[Computerized tomography in atrophy of the posterior fossa (author's transl)].
Cranial computerized tomography was carried out in 69 patients with cerebellar ataxia (45 with Friedreich's ataxia, 4 with Marie's spastic ataxia, 14 with cerebellar atrophy, and one patient with olivo-pontocerebellar atrophy). In CT scans cerebellar atrophy is found to be of various localisation and partially of characteristic distribution. CT, therefore, greatly helps to distinguish different types of cerebellar and spino-cerebellar atrophy and also distinguishes separate cerebellar atrophy of various origin from other diseases like multiple sclerosis.
