Description:	An apparently myogenic torticollis was noticed after a few months of life; at 10 months, he had two episodes of sudden head drop, followed by the onset of psychomotor arrest/ regression, hypotonia, ataxia and focal myoclonus of the right upper limb. In the following weeks, the myoclonus became subcontinuous, and was associated with rapidly progressive, severe generalized hypotonia and weakness requiring ventilatory assistance. Seizures were partially controlled with a combination of topiramate, clobazam and phenylbarbiturate. symmetrical lesions of the basal ganglia, thalami, cerebellar dentate nuclei and left occipital cortical and subcortical regions. abnormal accumulation of lactic acid in the putamen and a reduction of the N-acetyl aspartate. cholestatic jaundice, hypoglycaemia and hypocoagulation. The diagnostic conclusion was Alpers syndrome.

Description:	disease-free interval in the first 4 months after birth, followed by persistent vomiting, epileptic crises with loss of eye contact, and myoclonus in the upper limbs with secondary generalization and loss of consciousness. Persistent myoclonus in the upper limbs was associated with profound hypotonia and loss of eye contact. cortical atrophy and leukoencephalopathy in the subcortical areas of the frontal lobes. progressive hepatic failure with enlarged liver, hypoalbuminaemia and predominantly cholestatic jaundice led to the death of the child at 8 months of age.

She developed ataxia, slight polyneuropathy, and external ophthalmoplegia. At the age of 46 she had slightly increased plasma creatine kinase levels and symmetrical cerebellar peduncular white matter signal intensity increase in brain MRI. The first epileptic seizure, requiring treatment by general anesthesia, oc- curred at the age of 55, after which she was hospitalized permanently. From her 30's, she received psychiatric care due to anxiety and depression. A neuropsychological examination revealed decrease in visual reasoning and memory functions. She deceased at the age of 56 due to pneumonia and pulmonary embolism.

Description:	Ataxia, sensory ataxia, dysarthria, nystagmus, cognitive dysfunction, axonal neuropathy, demyelinating neuropathy. This man presented at age 26 with unsteadiness. Examination showed an ataxic gait, cerebellar dysarthria, myoclonic jerks of his head and facial muscles, mild limitation of horizontal eye movement, and horizontal nystagmus in the direction of gaze, with an additional vertical element when looking down. There were distal amyotrophy, absent reflexes in the legs, and a symmetric loss of all sensory modalities below the knee. Romberg’s test was positive. Episodes of depression. At age 31 he has an almost complete ophthalmoplegia, cerebellar dysarthria, myoclonus involving face and arms, truncal ataxia, and symmetric dysmetria.

She developed ataxia, slight polyneuropathy, and external ophthalmoplegia. At the age of 46 she had slightly increased plasma creatine kinase levels and symmetrical cerebellar peduncular white matter signal intensity increase in brain MRI. The first epileptic seizure, requiring treatment by general anesthesia, oc- curred at the age of 55, after which she was hospitalized permanently. From her 30's, she received psychiatric care due to anxiety and depression. A neuropsychological examination revealed decrease in visual reasoning and memory functions. She deceased at the age of 56 due to pneumonia and pulmonary embolism.

At rest, she had marked postural instability caused by trunk ataxia, which is aggravated by motor actions like e.g. lifting the upper limbs. severe dysarthria, incomplete horizontal and vertical external ophthalmoplegia and ataxia were observed as clinical features of MIRAS. Patient 2 was only able to stand assisted for a few seconds.

Upon exam, signs of both cerebellar and sensory ataxia (positive Romberg’s sign) as well as chorea, myoclonus, areflexia, and complete loss of vibration sense were found. Bradykinesia and marked postural instability. Eye examination revealed broken up smooth pursuit, nystagmus, mild dysconjugation of lateral eye movements, hypometric saccades and partial restriction of vertical gaze. Psychometric evaluation revealed deficits in information processing speed, working memory, attention, and visuospatial skills. A mild sensorineuronal hearing loss.

In the following weeks, the myoclonus became subcontinuous, and was associated with rapidly progressive, severe generalized hypotonia and weakness requiring ventilatory assistance. Seizures were partially controlled with a combination of topiramate, clobazam and phenylbarbiturate. symmetrical lesions of the basal ganglia, thalami, cerebellar dentate nuclei and left occipital cortical and subcortical regions. abnormal accumulation of lactic acid in the putamen and a reduction of the N-acetyl aspartate. cholestatic jaundice, hypoglycaemia and hypocoagulation.
