Background: Episodic ataxias (EAs) are a rare group of paroxysmal movement disorders (PMD) described in human medicine with only one suspected case described in veterinary literature.

Hypothesis/objectives: This study aimed to provide clinical description of a suspected primary EA in working Cocker Spaniel (WCS) dogs.

Animals: Seven WCS dogs with suspected primary EA.

Inflammatory Myopathies and Autoimmune Gluten-related Disorders: A Scoping Review of Pathophysiological Interconnections and Hypothesis.

Recent Adv Inflamm Allergy Drug Discov

October 2024

Department of Rheumatology, Dermatology and Infectious Diseases, Oslo University Hospital, Rikshospitalet, 0424 Oslo, Norway.

Introduction: Anecdotal reports describe patients with concurrent idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM) and celiac disease (CeD) in whom the introduction of a gluten-free diet led to dramatic improvement of myositis. We first systematically reviewed all peer-reviewed publications on concomitant IIM and duodenal biopsy-verified CeD. The collected evidence was suggestive of associations between myositis disease activity and gluten exposure in some patients with IIM-CeD.

Ultrarare Cause of Childhood Chorea: Celiac Disease.

J Child Neurol

December 2024

Department of Pediatric Neurology, Ankara Etlik City Hospital, Ankara, Turkey.

Introduction: Chorea, a movement disorder that commonly affects children, may be caused by various diseases with metabolic, structural, pharmacologic, or autoimmune origins. Celiac disease is an autoimmune enteropathy that may rarely cause neurologic symptoms in children, primarily ataxia and peripheral neuropathy, even in the absence of gastrointestinal symptoms.

Case Report: A 9-year-old male patient diagnosed with Sydenham chorea was admitted to our clinic because of valproic acid resistance.

Introduction: Celiac disease (CD) is a chronic autoimmune disorder triggered by gluten ingestion in genetically predisposed individuals, presenting with a diverse range of symptoms that extend beyond the gastrointestinal tract. The condition's systemic nature is evidenced by its extra-digestive manifestations, which can affect various organs including the skin, joints, liver, and nervous system.

Methods: This descriptive, retrospective study was conducted at a tertiary care center, focusing on adult patients diagnosed with CD who exhibited extra-digestive symptoms.

Recent advances in diagnosis of immune-mediated cerebellar ataxias: novel concepts and fundamental questions on autoimmune mechanisms.

J Neurol

October 2024

Service de Neurologie, Médiathèque Jean Jacquy, CHU-Charleroi, 6000, Charleroi, Belgium.

Article Synopsis
  • Immune-mediated cerebellar ataxias (IMCAs) are disorders where the immune system primarily attacks the cerebellum, with various types like gluten ataxia and Miller Fisher syndrome identified, leading to insights into diagnosis and treatment.
  • Specific autoantibodies help pinpoint some IMCA causes, but others require careful interpretation, as the relationships between them and the conditions are not always clear.
  • New classifications such as primary autoimmune cerebellar ataxia (PACA) and latent autoimmune cerebellar ataxia (LACA) have emerged to improve early treatment and management, while recent studies are exploring how autoimmunity affects synapses and nervous system function.
