The aims of the present study were to identify and analyze publications that have inquired the functionality of respiratory system in patients with Spinocerebellar Ataxia type 2. The data obtained from the advanced search in Google Scholar and in databases such as PubMed, Scopus, in Spanish and English languages were presented, taking into account the types articles and summaries of scientific events from various countries, the search was limited to the key words or in the summary of the article that made reference to: Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 2, Respiratory System and Pulmonary Vital Capacity, in a period or from 1998 to 2015 , whose results revealed that the respiratory system is the least systematized in the search performed, although there are evidences of its alterations in the few researches reviewed on the subject. In conclusion, there are traces that allow deepening this system in patients with SCA2, which admit the identification of new lines of research in this area.

Keywords : Spinocerebellar Ataxia type 2; Respiratory System; Vital Lung Capacity.
