Cause #8: Hereditary Ataxia
Ataxia is a term that refers to a neurological sign where there is lack of voluntary muscle coordination that can result in eye movement issues, gait abnormality, hearing problems, poor coordination, speech changes, and tremors. It can be limited unilaterally, also known as hemiataxia.
Disorders that can result in ataxia include ataxia telangiectasia, Niemann Pick disease, episodic ataxia, Friedreich’s ataxia, and spinocerebellar ataxia. The diagnosis for ataxia can be challenging as it involves many tests. While uncurable, symptoms of ataxia can generally be alleviated.
