    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Genetics
    • Clinical Medicine

    Background:

    • Periodic cerebellar dysfunction is a rare inherited neurological disorder.
    • Early childhood onset is typical for this condition.

    Observation:

    • The study details 5 family members with episodic neurological symptoms.
    • Symptoms include severe cerebellar ataxia, dysarthria, diplopia, nystagmus, vertigo, and vegetative signs.
    • Neurological examinations are typically normal between episodes.

    Findings:

    • The disorder appears to be autosomal dominant.
    • Cerebellar vermis atrophy was observed in two affected individuals.
    • Comparison with existing literature highlights the rarity and characteristics of this syndrome.

    Implications:

    • Understanding the genetic basis and clinical presentation is crucial for diagnosis.
    • Further research may elucidate the specific genetic mutations and pathophysiology.
    • This case series contributes to the limited knowledge of periodic cerebellar dysfunction.
