Abstract
The word "ataxia" means etymologically, incoordination or clumsiness. It is a symptom, not a diagnosis in itself, or a clinical entity. The diseases that present it, have as a common denominator, the permanent presence of a progressive alteration of the balance, more evident when standing and walking, together with a lack of coordination of the extremities with movement, all accompanied by disorders of the language, consisting of a difficulty in pronouncing well, having to work much harder than usual, to achieve an understanding, especially with difficult words, or in prolonged conversations. The underlying lesion is located mainly at the level of the cerebellum, which is the part of the brain responsible for coordinating movements and the center of postural balance, as well as the language.

The underlying lesion is located mainly at the level of the cerebellum, which is the part of the brain responsible for coordinating movements and the center of postural balance, as well as the language.His clinic is very characteristic and is recognized by the presence of frequent disturbances of the balance movements, very evident during the walking, which is very unstable, along with several language disorders, consisting of difficulty in pronouncing some words and phrases, known as "dysarthria"
Gluten Ataxia (GA): This entity was originally defined as "sporadic idiopathic ataxia", which was characterized by the presence in serum, of positive markers of gluten sensitization, mainly anti-gliadin antibodies (AGA) [1]
