Abstract
Neurological manifestations of chronic kidney disease are due to various reasons and one among them is inefficient elimination of toxins by the kidneys. The neurological manifestations can involve both central and peripheral nervous systems. It ranges from severe encephalopathy, coma to sensorimotor peripheral neuropathy. However, cerebellar manifestations in CKD per se is rare, though it can occur if any predisposing factors are there. Here, we report a case of acute pan-cerebellar syndrome in newly diagnosed CKD patient who took isoniazid prophylaxis for contact with open tuberculosis.
