  • Title: CT scan and threshold vibrometry in the diagnosis of spinocerebellar degenerations.
    Author: Uzunov N, Kutchoukov M, Kolchev C.
    Journal: Ital J Neurol Sci; 1991 Apr; 12(2):175-9. PubMed ID: 2071363.
    Abstract:
    45 patients with spinocerebellar degeneration (SCD) underwent through quantitative investigation of the ventricular and cisternal systems by CT scanning and threshold vibrometry in the limbs to find out whether these parameters could be used for distinguishing mainly spinal from cerebellar forms or from olivopontocerebellar atrophy. The increase in the vibration sense threshold and the mild atrophy in the posterior cranial fossa proved typical of spinal forms and the reverse for cerebellar forms. In olivopontocerebellar atrophy enlargement of the cisterns and dilatation of the ventricles always exceeded 85% of normal values.
