Friedreich's ataxia is a genetic condition causing worsening damage to the nervous system and heart. It leads to coordination problems and cardiac complications. An MRI may show changes in the spinal cord and cerebellum consistent with this condition. Finding changes associated with Friedreich's ataxia allows for cardiac monitoring and supportive management of neurological progression.
