Abstract:
Background:Although it is acknowledged that patients with celiac disease can develop neurological complications such as ataxia, the association of antigliadin antibodies in the etiology of sporadic ataxia and the usefulness of this testing in diagnosis of ataxia is controversial.Methods:We investigated this association by testing for the presence of IgG and IgA antigliadin antibodies in 56 ataxic patients and 59 controls. The ataxia patients were subsequently classified into three groups: sporadic, hereditary and MSA.Results:Of the total ataxic patients, 6/56 (11%) were positive for either IgG

Cerebellar ataxias represent a wide group of neurological diseases secondary to dysfunctions of cerebellum or its associated pathways, rarely coursing with acute-onset acquired etiologies and chronic non-progressive presentation. We evaluated patients with acquired non-progressive cerebellar ataxia that presented previous acute or subacute onset. Clinical and neuroimaging characterization of adult patients with acquired non-progressive ataxia were performed. Five patients were identified with the phenotype of acquired non-progressive ataxia.

Ataxia telangiectasia (AT) is a rare disease characterized by the early onset and slow progression of neurodegenerative defects, mainly affecting the cerebellum, associated with immunodeficiency and teleangiectasias. Ataxia is the hallmark of the disease and usually its first manifestation. Overt cerebellar ataxia usually becomes evident between 16 and 18 months of age, after the onset of walking, and is characterized by frequent falls and an ataxic gait with an enlarged base.

Abstract:
Miller Fisher syndrome can present with various forms of ophthalmoplegia. This case report describes a 57-year-old woman who initially showed bilateral internuclear ophthalmoplegia (INO), with normal imaging and laboratory findings. Her neurologic symptoms progressed to include hyporeflexia and ataxia, leading to a diagnosis of Miller Fisher syndrome. Intravenous immunoglobulin treatment resulted in gradual improvement. This case report highlights the need to consider rare conditions like Miller Fisher syndrome in patients with INO-like features and unclear etiology.

Background/Objectives: Ataxia is quite common in pediatric neuromotor disorders and has a highly heterogeneous etiology. Mobility difficulties and functional limitations reflect the lack of coordination in this population. The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of an intensive program of Functional Partial Body Weight Support Treadmill Training (FPBWSTT) on the mobility and functionality of children with ataxia. Methods: Through a stratified randomized control trial, a sample of 18 children with progressive and non-progressive ataxia and GMFCS II-IV (mean age: 14 years; standard

Spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs) constitute a heterogeneous group of neurodegenerative diseases characterized by progressive cerebellar ataxia in association with some or all of the following conditions: ophthalmoplegia, pyramidal signs, movement disorders, pigmentary retinopathy, peripheral neuropathy, cognitive dysfunction and dementia. OBJECTIVE: To carry out a clinical and genetic review of the main types of SCA. METHOD: The review was based on a search of the PUBMED and OMIM databases. RESULTS: Thirty types of SCAs are currently known, and 16 genes associated with the disease have been iden

Paraneoplastic Opsoclonus-Myoclonus Ataxia Syndrome (POMA) is a rare neurological condition that affects approximately 1 in 10,000,000 people annually. This syndrome is poorly understood and can lead to long-term cognitive, behavioral, and motor complications. Opsoclonus is characterized by involuntary, rapid, repetitive, multi-vectorial oscillations of the eyes occurring in all directions of gaze. It is accompanied by diffuse or focal body myoclonus and may or may not include ataxia and other cerebellar signs. POMA is typically a paraneoplastic syndrome associated with neuroblastoma in childh

Background: Rare movement disorders often have a genetic etiology. New technological advances have increased the odds of achieving genetic diagnoses: next-generation sequencing (NGS) (whole-exome sequencing—WES; whole-genome sequencing—WGS) and long-read sequencing (LRS). In 2017, we launched a WES program for patients with rare movement disorders of suspected genetic etiology. We aim to describe the accumulated experience of a modern movement disorder genetic clinic, highlighting how different available genetic tests might be prioritized according to the clinical phenotype and pattern of inhe

Introduction: Acute cerebellitis is a rare inflammatory disease of the cerebellum, with etiology and pathogenesis not fully understood, with diverse clinical presentation and good prognosis. The condition is highly common in children and is associated with viral infections, parainfectious or post-vaccination. Patients are most often presented with headache, vomiting, acute ataxia, discoordination, or meningo-radicular syndrome. Early diagnosis and multidisciplinary treatment are crucial for the outcome of the disease. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) remains the gold standard in diagnosis.Aim:

These progressive myelopathies, which are often seen in aging dogs, are characterized clinically by posterior ataxia and UMN and/or LMN paraparesis that may result in paraplegia late in the course of the disease.

Bickerstaff’s brainstem encephalitis (BBE) is a rare neurological disease characterized by ophthalmoplegia, ataxia and altered sensorium.1 Its etiology is thought to be autoimmune in nature and sometimes certain infections precede illness.2-4 It is a spectrum of illnesses with Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) and Miller Fischer Syndrome (MFS).5-6 We describe an atypical case of BBE which was initially misdiagnosed as meningo-encephalitis. As such, we report this case for its rarity. Informed consent was received from the patient before undertaking and reporting this study.
