[Norman's cerebellar atrophy. A case diagnosed by clinical signs and neuroimaging].
We present a patient with early non progressive ataxia in whom improvement was slower in motor signs than in psychic activity. MR showed cerebellar atrophy, more severe in the vermis than in the hemispheres. Clinical features and brain images pointed to a primary degeneration of the granular layer of the cerebellum, as described by Norman.
