📋Overview
Episodic Ataxia involves transient attacks of ataxia often triggered by physical exertion, emotional stress, or sudden movements. These conditions are categorized into several genetically distinct subtypes, with type 1 and type 2 being the most frequently recognized forms.
During an episode, individuals experience a temporary loss of motor control, though symptoms typically resolve between these occurrences. The disorder is primarily linked to genetic mutations that affect the function of ion channels in the nervous system.
