Abstract
CANVAS is an acronym for cerebellar ataxia, neuropathy and vestibular areflexia syndrome that was recently described in 2011. This paper reports a case of a 69 years old female that presented a history of dizziness for 9 years, associated with altered vestibulo-ocular reflex (VVOR) and bilateral hypo-functiom at video head impulse test (vHIT), wicth confirmed CANVA syndrome. Imbalance is a consistent symptom of CANVAS and, in most cases, it is the first to manifest. Its presentation demonstrates the importance of the specialist’s need for knowledge of this clinical condition to enable an assertive diagnosis.
