Paroxysmal dysarthria-ataxia syndrome: Literature review on MRI findings and report of a peculiar case with clinically isolated syndrome coexisting with anti-N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor antibodies

We present an illustrative case of 32-year-old female who developed clinically isolated syndrome manifested paroxysmal dysarthria, ataxia, ptosis and diplopia, coexisting with anti-N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor antibodies. We review the literature and identify 23 other cases with brain MRI examinations to summarize the lesion locations and clinical characteristics of PDA syndrome, and ultimately provide a new framework for understanding this rare condition.
