Abstract

Ataxia telangiectasia (AT) is a complex multisystem disorder characterized by progressive neurological impairment, variable immunodeficiency and occulo-cutaneous telangiectasia. Ataxia telangiectasia is a member of chromosomal breakage syndromes and it is caused by a mutation in the ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (ATM) gene. We are reporting an eight year old girl of AT presented with difficulty in walking, frequent fall, trembling of the whole body, difficulty in speech.
