Summary

Cerebellar ataxia, neuropathy, vestibular areflexia syndrome (CANVAS) is an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disease from hereditary ataxias with a late onset that affects the cerebellum, sensory nerves, and the vestibular system. Its genetic cause was discovered in 2019 and since 2020, dia­gnostic molecular genetic testing has also been available. According to the existing literature, it seems that CANVAS is a major cause of late onset hereditary ataxia. Out of the first nine examined patients with the suspected disease, we confirmed four cases of CANVAS; three of the patients are described in detail in this manuscript.
