Abstract
Degenerative cerebellar ataxia with autoantibodies against glutamic acid de carboxylase (GAD) is a rare disorder and may represent a subset of ataxias previously classified as idiopathic. The authors report a patient with prog ressive cerebellar ataxia, insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, and GAD ant ibodies who responded to TV immunoglobulins.
