Sensory ataxia-plus secondary to cervical spondylotic myelopathy

Barros et al discuss the case study of a 45-year-old male patient with a 2-week history of progressive gait imbalance. He also presented impaired proprioception, symmetric distal quadriparesis (grade 4/5), gait ataxia with a positive Romberg sign, bilateral upper limb dysmetria, and dysdiadochokines...

Description
Summary:	Barros et al discuss the case study of a 45-year-old male patient with a 2-week history of progressive gait imbalance. He also presented impaired proprioception, symmetric distal quadriparesis (grade 4/5), gait ataxia with a positive Romberg sign, bilateral upper limb dysmetria, and dysdiadochokinesia. The patient did not present nystagmus and/or dysarthria. A cervical spine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan revealed severe degenerative disk disease and compressive spondylotic myelopathy at C3-C4 and C5-C6.
