Our cases highlight the potential for immune-mediated cerebellar ataxias to present acutely, with rapid-onset symptoms and devastating neurological consequences. We caution against the diagnosis of 'post-infective cerebellitis' in adults, and advocate early consideration of an immune-mediated cerebellar ataxia and initiation of immunotherapy to prevent irreversible cerebellar damage.
