Twenty-seven patients with autosomal recessive ataxia were studied. According to diagnostic criteria proposed by Quebec Cooperative Study, fifteen cases were diagnosed as Friedreich's ataxia. The remaining twelve cases showed clinical features of the "Early onset cerebellar ataxia with retained reflexes". The clinical differences between the two diseases are discussed. The high percentage of patients with "early onset cerebellar ataxia" is underlined.
