Abstract
Introduction
Episodic ataxia is a clinical condition characterized by episodes of balance and coordination problems that last minutes to hours. It can be inherited or sporadic, and it can be seen sporadically in epilepsy, basilar migraine, multiple sclerosis, vertebrobasilar ischaemia, and labyrinth diseases.
Methods
In this article, we present a case of a patient who had a coincidental occurrence of episodic ataxia type 2 (EA2) and multiple sclerosis (MS) Results: The patient who had a previously unidentified heterozygous mutation in the calcium voltage-gated channel subunit alpha 1 A gene (CACNA1A).
Conclusion
There is no publication in the literature reporting the co-occurrence of MS and EA2. This combination may be coincidental in this patient, or it may be a relationship that has not yet been scientifically revealed.
