In addition to frequent sphincter dysfunction and decreased vibratory sense at the ankles, manifestations may include optical neuropathy, nystagmus, blepharoptosis, ophthalmoplegia, decreased hearing, scoliosis, <i>pes cavus</i>, motor and sensory neuropathy, muscle atrophy, parkinsonism, and dystonia.
