Its incidence is between 1\/100,000 and 1\/500,000. Its most common reason is infections.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The aim of this study was to examine the clinical presentation, etiological factors, and prognosis of patients presenting to our regional tertiary pediatric neurology clinic with a diagnosis of acute ataxia.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>An evaluation was made of patients younger than 18 years diagnosed with acute ataxia in our tertiary pediatric neurology clinic between 2009 and 2016.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Thirty-nine children were included in the analysis. Sex, age, diagnoses, treatment options, and clinical and radiological findings were evaluated. Acute postinfectious cerebellar ataxia was the most common diagnosis (21\/39 [51.2%]). No agent could be identified in viral serological examination in 34 patients (87.2%). Rotavirus was identified in 2 (10.5%) of the acute postinfectious cerebellar ataxia cases, and varicella-zoster virus, herpes simplex virus, and hepatitis A positivities were each identified in 1 case. In 20 (51.2%) of 39 patients, varying treatments were applied according to the primary etiology.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Acute ataxia is a significant neurological problem in childhood. In this study, Rotavirus was the most common infectious agent. It may be related to vaccination. This study can be considered of value as the most comprehensive study conducted to date on this subject in the eastern region of Turkey.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1097\/pec.0000000000002104","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,20]],"date-time":"2020-05-20T17:19:20Z","timestamp":1589995160000},"page":"e97-e99","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Acute Ataxia in Childhood"],"prefix":"10.1097","volume":"37","author":[{"given":"Serkan","family":"Kirik","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Neurology, Faculty of Medicine, Sutcu Imam University, Kahramanmaras"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mahmut","family":"Aslan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pediatric Neurology"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bilge","family":"\u00d6zg\u00f6r","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pediatric Neurology"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Serdal","family":"G\u00fcng\u00f6r","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pediatric Neurology"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Neslihan","family":"Aslan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pediatrics, Faculty of Medicine, Inonu University, Malatya, Turkey."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"bib1-20230930","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1156","DOI":"10.1177\/0883073816643407","article-title":"Acute ataxia in childhood: 11-year experience at a major pediatric neurology referral center","volume":"31","year":"2016","journal-title":"J Child Neurol"},{"key":"bib2-20230930","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"381","DOI":"10.1177\/088307389400900408","article-title":"Acute childhood ataxia: 10-year experience","volume":"9","year":"1994","journal-title":"J Child Neurol"},{"key":"bib3-20230930","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"48","DOI":"10.1016\/j.pediatrneurol.2011.10.002","article-title":"Rotavirus cerebellitis: new aspects to an old foe?","volume":"46","year":"2012","journal-title":"Pediatr Neurol"},{"key":"bib4-20230930","first-page":"321","article-title":"Acute onset ataxia in infancy: its aetiology, treatment and follow-up","volume":"42","year":"2006","journal-title":"Rev Neurol"},{"key":"bib5-20230930","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"316","DOI":"10.1017\/S0317167100001074","article-title":"Autoantibodies in childhood post-varicella acute cerebellar ataxia","volume":"27","year":"2000","journal-title":"Can J Neurol Sci"},{"key":"bib6-20230930","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1970","DOI":"10.1016\/j.vaccine.2009.01.019","article-title":"Acute cerebellar ataxia in the Netherlands: a study on the association with vaccinations and varicella zoster infection","volume":"27","year":"2009","journal-title":"Vaccine"},{"key":"bib7-20230930","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"254","DOI":"10.1016\/j.braindev.2006.09.004","article-title":"Acute cerebellar ataxia and consecutive cerebellitis produced by glutamate receptor delta2 autoantibody","volume":"29","year":"2007","journal-title":"Brain Dev"},{"key":"bib8-20230930","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"8","DOI":"10.1177\/08830738060210010101","article-title":"Craniocervical arterial dissection in children: clinical and radiographic presentation and outcome","volume":"21","year":"2006","journal-title":"J Child Neurol"},{"key":"bib9-20230930","first-page":"1478","article-title":"MRI findings in acute cerebellitis","volume":"14","year":"2004","journal-title":"Eur Radiol"},{"key":"bib10-20230930","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"570","DOI":"10.1097\/PEC.0000000000001216","article-title":"Ataxia and headache in a child: a case of acute cerebellar infarction","volume":"33","year":"2017","journal-title":"Pediatr Emerg Care"}],"container-title":["Pediatric Emergency Care"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.lww.com\/10.1097\/PEC.0000000000002104","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,30]],"date-time":"2023-09-30T04:29:12Z","timestamp":1696048152000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.lww.com\/10.1097\/PEC.0000000000002104"}},"subtitle":["Clinical Presentation, Etiology, and Prognosis of Single-Center Experience"],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,20]]},"references-count":10,"journal-issue":{"issue":"3","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2021]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/pec.0000000000002104","relation":{},"ISSN":["1535-1815","0749-5161"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1535-1815","type":"electronic"},{"value":"0749-5161","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,20]]}}}
