Gluten ataxia is a known cause of sporadic ataxia.
We report the case of a patient with imbalance and no abdominal symptoms diagnosed with gluten ataxia. Her neurological symptoms responded to gluten-free diet.
Gluten ataxia should be considered in all patients with sporadic ataxia with or without abdominal symptoms, as early diagnosis and treatment may result in neurological improvement.
麸质相关性共济失调是散发性共济失调的已知病因。
我们报告了一例以平衡障碍起病、无腹部症状的患者,诊断为麸质相关性共济失调。其神经症状对无麸质饮食治疗有反应。
对于所有有或无腹部症状的散发性共济失调患者,均应考虑到麸质相关性共济失调,因为早期诊断和治疗可能会导致神经功能改善。
