Abstract:
A case of post-pyrexial acute cerebellar ataxia in a 14 year old girl is presented and the available literature is reviewed. The therapeutic efficacy of thiamine hydrochloride observed in this patient lends some support to the view that acute thiamine depletion may be the pathogenetic mechanism for post-pyrexial acute cerebellar ataxia.
