Cerebrotendinous Xanthomatosis (CTX) is a rare genetic disorder due to mutations in the CYP27A1 gene resulting in both systemic and neurologic manifestations from accumulation and deposition of cholestanol in tissues. Chenodeoxycholic Acid (CDCA) is the standard medical therapy, resulting in
Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis is an autosomal recessive inborn error of metabolism that is an often missed but treatable cause of hereditary ataxia. We report a case of cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) that was diagnosed only after the development of cognitive decline and adult onset ataxia in
Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis is an exceptionally rare condition in Indian subcontinent, however, it is potentially treatable if diagnosed. We present and discuss the clinical presentation and investigations in a case of cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX).
Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) belongs to a heterogeneous group of neurological disorders known as autosomal recessive cerebellar ataxias. Low awareness of CTX can result in misdiagnoses in the differential diagnostic process and may limit one's ability to offer suitable Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) is a lipid-storage disease caused by mutations in CYP27A1. Current publications of Chinese CTX were mainly based on case reports. Here we investigated the clinical manifestations, genetic features in Chinese CTX patients. The clinical materials of 4 Chinese CTX
A 30-year-old patient with cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis was studied over a 6-year period. The clinical manifestations were cataracts, intellectual deterioration, ataxia, palatal and pharyngeal myoclonus, corticospinal tract damage and an electrophysiologically demonstrated sensorimotor peripheral
Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) is an autosomal recessive lipid storage disease caused by mutations in the cytochrome P450(27) (CYP27) gene. This disease is characterized by the accumulation of a bile alcohol, cholestanol, in diverse tissues. Accumulation in the central nervous system leads to

Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) is a rare autosomal recessive lipid storage disease caused by mutations of the CYP27A1 gene and deficiency of the sterol-27-hydroxylase enzyme in bile acid biosynthesis. It is characterized by the accumulation of cholestanol and bile alcohols in
Two sibling cases of cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis with parkinsonism were reported. One was a woman of 39 years old, and another was her sister of 36 years old. In both cases, febrile convulsion appeared on 1.5 year old, and mental deterioration, ataxic -spastic gait, cataract and swelling of
A 26-year-old female developed mental deterioration, general convulsion, cataract and spastic gait in order since her entrance into elementary school. A diagnosis of cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) was made because of hypercholestanolemia. At the time of admission, cataract, a mild thickening
A 39 year old patient with cerebellar signs, juvenile cataracts, and dull normal intelligence had cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis without tendon xanthomas, diagnosed previously as Marinesco-Sjoegren syndrome. Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis was proved by a greatly increased excretion of bile alcohols
