  • Look Inside

Isolated vitamin E deficiency causes ataxia and peri-pheral neuropathy that resembles Friedreich's ataxia. This entity is called ataxia due to isolated vitamin E defi-ciency (AVED). Some patients of this syndrome also have retinitis pigmentosa.

A 41-year-old male patient presented with this syn-drome. Neurological symptoms developed when he was fifteen years old. His neurological symptoms and visual impairment slowly progressed. When he was forty one years old, he was diagnosed as AVED. On neuro-otologi-cal examinations, he showed trunkal ataxia, impaired pursuit, impaired optokinetic nystagmus, and square wave jerks. AVED should be taken into consideration when we see patients with ataxia.
