Mania in two sisters with similar cerebellar disturbance
KG Yadalam, AK Jain and GM Simpson
The authors describe two sisters who presented with a clinical picture
consistent with mania. On further investigation, both had marked vermian
and cerebellar cortical atrophy on CAT scans. Their mother also had a
history suggestive of cerebellar disease. To the authors' knowledge, this
is the first report of familial cerebellar disease with a clinical
presentation of mania.
