The authors describe a case of early onset ataxia with cerebellar atrophy and vitamin E deficiency, treated with alpha-tocopherol supplementation and physically rehabilitated by postural biofeedback. Clinical assessments, serum vitamin E levels and postural evaluation by means of a stabilometric platform continued for about 2 years and significant clinical improvement was recorded. Our study confirms that combined physical therapy and vitamin E supplementation may result in improvement of cerebellar function. Motor improvement is directly related to vitamin E serum levels, providing further confirmation that normal vitamin E levels are crucial for proper brain functions.
