| Popis: | Progressive ataxia and palatal tremor (PAPT) is a rare distinct clinical entity characterized by symptomatic palatal tremor associated with progressive ataxia1,2. Few cases have been described in literature, and MRI findings show, in most cases, cerebellar atrophy and bilateral olivary hypertrophy with signal change1. We report a case where MRI study at 3T demonstrated marked bilateral olivary complex hyperintensity at T1, with magnetization transfer contrast pulse (MTC) sequence, which was subtle at conventional T2 and FLAIR sequences at 1,5 and [...] |
