Antibodies against metabotropic glutamate receptor type 1 (mGluR1) have been described in adults with paraneoplastic or non-paraneoplastic subacute cerebellitis. Patients responded to immunotherapy depending on disease duration. Here, we report on a 3 years 2 months old male toddler with acute onset ataxia and mGluR1 antibodies in serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). He was started on prednisolone 4 weeks after disease onset and remitted largely within half a year.
