Abstract
Localized phosphorus (31P) and proton (1H) magnetic resonance spectroscopy was performed in the cerebellum and the occipital lobe of 6 patients with episodic ataxia type 2. From use of 31P magnetic resonance spectroscopy, untreated patients showed decreased high-energy phosphate ratios in the cerebrum, and increased pH in the cerebellum and cerebrum, which normalized under acetazolamide. 1H magnetic resonance spectra demonstrated high lactate peaks in 3 of the 6 patients. These metabolic alterations, probably induced by the calcium channelopathy, may characterize episodic ataxia type 2.Entities:
