Introduction: Very rarely, adult NMDAR antibody-associated encephalitis (NMDAR-E) leads to persistent cerebellar atrophy and ataxia. Transient cerebellar ataxia is common in pediatric NMDAR-E. Immune-mediated cerebellar ataxia may be associated with myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG), aquaporin-4 (AQP-4), kelch-like family member 11 (KLHL11), and glutamate kainate receptor subunit 2 (GluK2) antibodies, all of which may co-occur in NMDAR-E.

Background: Hereditary Sensory Motor Neuropathy (HSMN) 1A and Multiple Sclerosis (MS) are distinct demyelinating disorders affecting the peripheral and central nervous systems, respectively.

Case presentation and clinical approach: A 49-year-old male with a history of optic neuritis presented with progressive numbness, weakness, and sensory loss in all extremities over four years.
