A 58-year-old man developed progressive walking difficulty over 10 years. He had normal development and an unremarkable birth history. At age 30, he developed bilateral drooping eyelids with double vision. At age 48, he developed progressive gait unsteadiness, slurred speech, and swallowing difficulty. At age 55, he needed to walk with a cane. He did not have seizures, hearing loss, or memory impairment. He did not have any history of alcohol abuse or exposures to anticonvulsants. His mother has congenital cardiac disease and diabetes mellitus, and his sister has had epilepsy since childhood. His daughter is healthy.On examination, the patient had left exotropia and bilateral ptosis without fatigability. His pupillary reflex to light was normal. He had partial horizontal gaze palsy and lack of upward gaze, which was not overcome by vestibulo-ocular reflex. His saccadic eye movements were slow without nystagmus or square wave jerks. He had scanning speech. He had normal muscle power but decreased vibratory sensation and proprioception in his legs, and his deep tendon reflexes were absent. He had mild bradykinesia and arm rigidity without rest tremor. He had mild dysmetria in bilateral finger-nose-finger, finger chase, and heel-shin slide examinations and he had impaired rapid alternating movements. He had wide-base gait with variable stride length but good heel strike, and he could not perform tandem gait (video at Neurology.org).
