Alternating Skew Deviation in Association with Anti-Glutamic Acid Decarboxylase Antibodies NEURO-OPHTHALMOLOGY Farooq, A., Soin, K., Moss, H. E. 2015; 39 (3): 140-143

Abstract

The presence of an elevated anti-glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) antibody level has been associated with a number of eye movement abnormalities, as well as other findings including cerebellar ataxia and insulin dependent diabetes mellitus. Skew deviation in association with anti-GAD antibodies has not been previously reported. Here we report a case of alternating skew deviation along with cerebellar-brainstem signs in a patient with an elevated anti-GAD antibody titer. Follow-up neurologic evaluation after treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin revealed improvement in cerebellar-brainstem signs, while ophthalmic evaluation was stable.
