The Machado-Joseph Disease, or spinocerebellar ataxia type 3, is one of the few eponyms in medicine whereby the disease is named after the patient and not the physician who originally described it. But someone else's name is missing from the eponym: Thomas. And the alternative title for the condition, "spinocerebellar ataxia," also happens to be a bit of a misnomer. In this week's installment of BrainWaves, we review the history and clinical manifestations of this movement disorder.
