ABSTRACT
Cerebellar ataxia mediated by autoimmune mechanisms is a common cause of sporadic cerebellar ataxia. According to the presence of underlining malignancy, autoimmune cerebellar ataxia (ACA) can be divided into paraneoplastic ACA and non-paraneoplastic ACA. The typical manifestations of various types of ACA include gait disorder, limb and trunk ataxia, mild inflammatory response and specific oligoclonal bands in cerebrospinal fluid. Immunosuppressive therapy might be effective. Anti-neuronal antibodies are of great significance to the diagnosis of ACA, and the discovery of the new antibody profile has promoted a deeper understanding of ACA. This article reviews the clinical features and progress of diagnosis and treatment of ACA.
