Overview

Term “ataxia” means impaired, irregular movement, but is also known as a group of hereditary diseases. Thanks to progress in molecular genetics, new types of ataxia are found daily, together with specification of phenotype-genotype correlation. With progress in neuroimaging and electrophysiology, ataxia as a symptom might not get the appropriate attention of clinicians. However, clinical features of ataxia can serve as an important clue in differential diagnosis. This text describes ataxia as a syndrome. We discussed specific signs of ataxia from a syndromological point of view and highlighted the most common causes of ataxia and some of the rare causes imitating ataxia as well.

Key words:
ataxia – cerebelar ataxia – sensory ataxia – vestibular ataxia – etiology of ataxia

The authors declare they have no potential conflicts of interest concerning drugs, products, or services used in the study.

The Editorial Board declares that the manu­script met the ICMJE “uniform requirements” for biomedical papers.
