Abstract BackgroundSpinocerebellar Ataxia type 2 is a slowly progressive adult onset ataxia with a broad clinical presentation. Case presentationWe describe a man with Spinocerebellar Ataxia type 2 with chronic, severe, and recurrent rhabdomyolysis, as part of the cerebellar ataxia genetic spectrum. Initially rhabdomyolysis was refractory to multiple medications, but entirely resolved and remained in chronic remission with pregabalin. ConclusionThis is the first report of Spinocerebellar Ataxia type 2 associated with chronic, severe, recurrent rhabdomyolysis as part of its genetic phenotype responsive to pregabalin.

Abstract Spinocerebellar ataxia type 5 (SCA-5) is a predominantly slowly progressive adult onset ataxia. We describe a child with a presentation of ataxic cerebral palsy (CP) and developmental delay at 6 months of age. Genetic testing confirmed a c.812C>T p.(Thr271Ile) mutation within the SPTBN2 gene. Seven previous cases of infantile onset SCA-5 are reported in the literature, four of which had a CP presentation. Early onset of SCA-5 presents with ataxic CP and is a rare cause of cerebral palsy.
