Late-Onset Friedreich’s Ataxia (LOFA) Mimicking Charcot–Marie–Tooth Disease Type 2: What Is Similar and What Is Different?
The Cerebellum, 2017Co-Authors: Rubens Paulo A. Salomão, Maria Thereza Drumond Gama, Flávio Moura Rezende Filho, Fernanda Maggi, José Luiz Pedroso, Orlando G. P. BarsottiniAbstract:Herein, we report a patient that presented with late-onset progressive Steppage Gait, neuropathy and pes cavus , suggesting Charcot–Marie–Tooth (CMT) disease. Subsequent genetic investigation confirmed Friedreich’s ataxia (FRDA). We demonstrate that late-onset Friedreich’s ataxia (LOFA) may be a CMT mimicker. This case reinforces that other genetic conditions may clinically resemble CMT. The clinical similarities between CMT and FRDA include a symmetrical neuropathy (axonal in FRDA), Steppage Gait, and eventually scoliosis. We suggest that late-onset forms of hereditary neuropathies should be carefully evaluated, since LOFA may be a CMT mimicker.
