Diseases of the nervous system : a text-book of neurology and psychiatry . Fig. 216.—Scoliosis of Friedreichs Fig. 217.—^Friedreichs ataxia, showing the permanent extension of the great toe. HEMORRHAGE OF CEREBELLUM 415 are disposed to refer Friedreichs disease to this group also, and toclaim that between these two disorders one finds every gradation fromthe Friedreich type, with mostly cord and little cerebellar change, toMaries type, with more cerebellar and little cord change. The chief signs here^ are ataxias of the leg, arm, facial, ocular,head, laryngeal, and pharyngeal muscles. Cerebellar reeling, noRomberg. Later palsies and contractions. Exaggerated tendonphenomena. In most of these cases the disorder is predominantly inthe cord. In other cases with degeneration of the spinocerebellar tracts withnormal or only small cerebellum one finds patients with staggeringgait, scanning, explosive, slow speech, nystagmoid jerkings of theeyes, muscular cramps, fatigability of muscles, normal or exaggeratedknee-jerks. As mentioned, Friedreichs disease properly belongs to thisrubric. 1 S I f ?*
