Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection is associated with neurological sequellae, but rarely there is acute cerebellar ataxia (ACA) in an adult. We present a novel case of a 26-year-old man, who presented with ACA. He had normal MRI and CSF analysis. Serum testing confirmed active EBV. A course of oral prednisolone 1 mg/kg for 4 weeks, with a subsequent taper was started. He made a full recovery within 3 weeks of presentation.
爱泼斯坦-巴尔病毒(EBV)感染与神经后遗症有关,但成人中很少出现急性小脑性共济失调(ACA)。我们报告了一例26岁男性的新病例,该患者表现为急性小脑性共济失调。他的MRI和脑脊液分析结果正常。血清检测证实存在活跃的EBV感染。开始给予口服泼尼松龙,剂量为1 mg/kg,持续4周,随后逐渐减量。他在就诊后3周内完全康复。
