Acute Cerebellar Ataxia in Children

Abstract: Summary Acute cerebellar ataxia is a syndrome with heterogeneous etiology. The present paper describes 6 cases. Three cases exhibited cerebellar‐ataxic symptoms only, two had symptoms indicating that the process affected the cerebrum also, and in one case there were also spinal symptoms (paresis). In three cases the causation was unquestionably polio infection with significant serological tests and pareses. In two of the remaining cases the infectious agent possibly was influenza B, and in the third case, poss… Show more

“…Our study provides compelling in vivo evidence of cerebellar changes in adult poliomyelitis survivors with reference to healthy controls. In contrast to previous postmortem studies [9,14,15] and sporadic clinical reports [16][17][18], the cohort of adult poliomyelitis survivors evaluated in this study did not exhibit cerebellar atrophy. On the contrary, polio survivors exhibited hypertrophic changes in the cerebellum.…”

“…Accounts of involvement of cerebellar cortical layers are strikingly conflicting [9,10,14,15]. Sporadic cerebellar manifestations, such as ataxia, nystagmus, vertigo and intention tremor had been linked to poliovirus type 1 [16][17][18]. The rarity of frank cerebellar findings was hypothesised to be due to limited cerebellar degeneration and the challenge of ascertaining cerebellar signs in the presence of widespread lower motor neuron degeneration [15].…”

“…Batten's seminal work was followed in subsequent years by publication of many case series of children with acute cerebellar ataxia. [3][4][5][6][7][8] These early reports of acute cerebellar ataxia were noted to occur in association with a variety of illnesses such as scarlet fever, whooping cough, influenza, measles, polio, and varicella.…”

Chainberlin [8] beobaehteten diese Symptome bei der akuten eerebell/iren Ataxie im Kindesalter. Marimon u. Sandilands [24] beschrieben den Opsoklonus als seltenes Begleitsymptom bei Polioencephalitis, und Arthuis et al [1] sahen die Symptomatik bei der nieht paralytisehen ataktisehen Form der Poliomyelitis.…”
