Other spinocerebellar ataxias might also be accompanied by epilepsy, although this is probably a coincidence. There was a case report of mesiotemporal epilepsy in an SCA13 patient and one of nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy in an SCA17 patient. There was also a description of epilepsy in patients with Friedreich ataxia. A list of all possible conditions exceeds the scope of this article.
