In this consensus paper, we discuss the clinical features of the main described immune-mediated cerebellar ataxias and address their presumed pathogenesis. Immune-mediated cerebellar ataxias include cerebellar ataxia associated with anti-GAD antibodies, the cerebellar type of Hashimoto's encephalopathy, primary autoimmune cerebellar ataxia, gluten ataxia, Miller Fisher syndrome, ataxia associated with systemic lupus erythematosus, and paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration. Humoral mechanisms, cell-mediated immunity, inflammation, and vascular injuries contribute to the cerebellar deficits in immune-mediated cerebellar ataxias.

Case Report: Here we report a patient, who presented with congenital coal black hyperpigmentation of the skin with progressive trismus. Conclusion: With emergence of new reports, the mutational and expressive variations of this disease is becoming more enigmatic. Our tidings shed light on a novel clinical association with coal black skin pigmentation in whom trismus was dealt successfully through operative methods. Further mutational analysis and clinical probing would help in concreting a definite categorization of this diseases that lie between these gamuts.

Twenty four DM and a matched population of 14 patients each of PDM and NDM strokes were studied. Each group was compared as whole and by gender and stroke segregation. Study parameters were right and left CIMTs (CIMTR, CIMTL), insulin resistance (IR), age, BMI and lipids, correlations between CIMTs and CIMTs with risk markers. CIMTR was higher in DM and PDM compared to NDM, but CIMTLs did not differ. CIMTs were similar in genders and stroke types of each group. The IR was significantly high only in DM. Age and BMI correlations were predominantly positive and lipids variable except in PDM. Age and IR had better impacts on CIMTs in DM while BMI was poor. Females and infarcts had a more congruous CIMT increment in DM and PDM but male and haemorrhage in NDM. With similar levels of risk markers, their impacts o...
