Autosomal recessive spastic ataxia of Charlevoix Saguenay (ARSACS) is an uncommon spastic-ataxic syndrome and a neurodegenerative disease that is characterised by the triad of cerebellar ataxia, spasticity, and peripheral neuropathy. Though initially reported from Quebec, Canada, this disorder has been reported from other regions of the world. There have been very few reports on this condition from India. We report a case from Southern India with typical clinical and imaging features.
