The most common presenting feature at onset was myoclonus with or without falls (13, 52%). Atypical features such as seizure, hemiparesis, and visual problems were present in 28% patients. At 6 months, 9 patients had progressive course (6 expired), 10 were static, and 6 lost to follow-up. MRI was normal in 8 (32%) patients (stage 2\/3- 7\/1).
