- ItemAcesso aberto (Open Access)Adult onset sporadic ataxias: a diagnostic challenge(Academia Brasileira de Neurologia - ABNEURO, 2014-03-01) Barsottini, Orlando Graziani Povoas [UNIFESP]; Albuquerque, Marcus Vinicius Cristino De; Braga Neto, Pedro; Pedroso, José Luiz; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP); Universidade Estadual do Ceará Centro de Ciências da SaúdePatients with adult onset non-familial progressive ataxia are classified in sporadic ataxia group. There are several disease categories that may manifest with sporadic ataxia: toxic causes, immune-mediated ataxias, vitamin deficiency, infectious diseases, degenerative disorders and even genetic conditions. Considering heterogeneity in the clinical spectrum of sporadic ataxias, the correct diagnosis remains a clinical challenge. In this review, the different disease categories that lead to sporadic ataxia with adult onset are discussed with special emphasis on their clinical and neuroimaging features, and diagnostic criteria.
