Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) is a lipid storage disorder that causes neurological, ophthalmic, vascular, and musculoskeletal disorders due to the deposition of cholesterol in the tissues. Hence, we report clinical and imaging of a 31‐year‐old mentally retarded man with cerebellar ataxia, bilateral swelling of the posterior aspect of Achill, and infertility.
