On examination he was found to be dysarthric and to display dysmetria and dyssynergia on finger-nose testing, and markedly hypometric saccades to target. Gross truncal ataxia was present in the seated position and there was impairment of the visually enhanced vestibulo-ocular reflex. Assessment of power was normal throughout and sensory modalities including pin prick and vibration sense perception were intact.
