The objective of our research was to raise awareness of neurologists and family physicians about gluten ataxia and improve the diagnostic approaches.Methods. PubMed and Google Scholar resources were used to write the review article.Discussion. It is incredibly important not to overlook treatable courses of ataxia. One of these diseases is gluten ataxia. Early diagnosis and timely treatment (gluten-free diet) of gluten ataxia leads to a significant improvement of clinical symptoms and prevents their progression. Gluten ataxia is one of the most common and commonly misdiagnosed ataxia. Its prevalence among all ataxias is 15% and reaches 40% among all idiopathic sporadic ataxias (Hadjivassiliou M., Sanders D.D., Aeschlimann D.P., 2015).Keywords: gluten ataxia, celiac disease, gluten-related disorders.
