AB - SUBACUTE SPINO-CEREBELLAR DEGENEEATION OCCURRING IN ELDERLY PATIENTS. BY J. G. GREENFIELD. (From the National Hospital, Queen Square, London.) WHIL E no type of nervous disease presents itself constantly in a stereotyped form, some have a special tendency to vary from their main type. Among the latter the spino-cerebellar ataxias are con- spicuous. Even Friedreich's ataxia, which might be considered as the prototype of this class, varies greatly both in its clinical course and in its incidence on the spinal tracts and the cerebellar connections. I n fact, each affected family seems to present its own variant of the disease. This tendency is even more marked in the rarer cases of cerebellar ataxia which come on in the middle or later years of life. Of these the best-established forms are olivo-ponto-cerebellar atrophy and parenchymatous cortical cerebellar atrophy. Occasional variants of these have been described. For example, the red nuclei with or without the dentate nuclei may be affected and the pontine nuclei spared, and minor.degrees of degeneration may be found in the spinal cord. Further, the cerebral cortex may be involved in the degeneration. The reason for describing the following cases is to indicate a further variant, which differs in
