Abstract

Ataxia is a relatively common reason for consultation in primary care. Most often it presents acutely as a result of banal causes. However, sometimes, we need a detailed and careful examination in the systematic reviews of healthy children to observe it, being in these cases part of a more severe clinical disease. An early detection and management are the factors that powerfully influence the prognosis.

We report a case that highlights the importance of systematic reviews and differential diagnosis of ataxia.
