GSS is a neurodegenerative prion disease with diverse clinical presentations, and exhibits greater variability in disease phenotype compared to other inherited spongiform encephalopathies. GSS should be on the differential for patients with ataxia and supranuclear palsy, and it is important to assess both horizontal and vertical saccades and optokinetic nystagmus in patients with ataxia.
