Abstract:(1) Background: Spinocerebellar ataxias (SCA) is a term that refers to a group of hereditary ataxias, which are neurological diseases characterized by degeneration of the cells that constitute the cerebellum. Studies suggest that magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) supports diagnoses of ataxias, and linear measurements of the aneteroposterior diameter of the midbrain (ADM) have been investigated using MRI. These measurements correspond to studies in spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 (SCA2) patients and in healthy sub… Show more
