Abstract
Spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 (SCA2) has protean manifestations, and a clinical marker of progression is needed. Although MRI is a promising tool, it is unclear whether the degree of atrophy shown on MRI is correlated with clinical dysfunction. Here the authors used high-resolution volumetric MRI analysis to show that cerebellar and pontine volumes specifically and closely correlate with functional staging scores.Entities:
