Abstract
The clinical and neuropathological findings in a patient with familial cortical tremor with epilepsy (FCTE) are described. Clinically, the patient showed cortical myoclonus, tremor, and generalized seizures. Pathological investigation showed cerebellar degeneration and somal sprouting and loss of dendritic tree in Purkinje cells. Striking similarities were found in diseases caused by channelopathies such as spinocerebellar ataxia subtype 6. © 2003 Movement Disorder SocietyKeywords
