Acute post-infectious cerebellar ataxia (APCA) is a relatively common cause of acute ataxia among children and usually follows viral or bacterial infections. Neuroimaging of patients with APCA may show hyperintensities of cerebellar gray matter on T2-weighted MRI images and lumbar puncture may identify microbial infection and pleocytosis. There were no notable history and examination findings suggestive of Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C) due to Covid-19. 1 Video Segment 1: Showing impaired finger nose finger test, Segment 2: Showing dysdiadochokinesia (left>right), Segment 3: Showing impaired tandem gait.
