📋Overview
Episodic Ataxia (EA) is a group of rare, inherited neurological disorders characterized by recurrent episodes of poor coordination and balance (ataxia). It is a legacy term encompassing several genetically distinct subtypes, most commonly EA type 1 and EA type 2, which are now classified based on their genetic causes. These conditions involve transient attacks of ataxia often triggered by stress, exertion, or sudden movements, with symptoms typically resolving between episodes.
