[The acute cerebellar ataxia, reccurrence of disease after 5 years--a case report].
Acute cerebellitis, also known as acute cerebellar ataxia, is a rare inflammatory syndrome characterized by cerebellar dysfunction. It typically occurs as a primary infectious, post-infectious or post vaccination disorder, typically in early childhood. The author presents a case of recurrent, acute cerebellar ataxia in a 20-year-old woman. In the described case the first event of acute cerebellar ataxia occured at the age of 15. The disease lasted 3 weeks and symptoms disappeared entirely. The similar symptoms recurred after 5 years but they were more pronounced and accompanied by pleocytosis, high protein level and low glucose level in cerebrospinal fluid. The symptoms disappeared entirely after 2 months of treatment.
