Incidence of FA-related medical conditions varies according to disease duration. In patients with very long disease duration, we observed an unexpectedly high incidence of visual and auditory pseudo-hallucinations that were not previously reported in FA patients. We hypothesized that these late complications may be possibly related to the severe sensory deafferentation syndrome observed in the advanced stages of FA disease.
