ABSTRACT
We present the first case report of fragile X-associated tremor ataxia syndrome (FXTAS) in the Republic of Korea. A 75-year-old male developed progressive gait ataxia, parkinsonism, and a mood disorder. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed T2 high signal intensity within the middle cerebellar peduncles. Analysis of the fragile X mental retardation 1 gene revealed a CGG trinucleotide repeat number of 136. FXTAS should be considered when a patient has atypical parkinsonism, cerebellar ataxia, and specific MRI abnormalities.
