Episodic ataxias comprise a group of inherited disorders, which have a common hallmark—transient attacks of ataxia. The genetic background is heterogeneous and the causative genes are not always identified. Furthermore, the clinical presentation, including intraictal and interictal symptoms, as well as the retention and progression of neurological deficits, is heterogeneous. Spells of ataxia can be accompanied by other symptoms—mostly from the central nervous system. However, in some of episodic ataxias involvement of peripheral nervous system is a part of typical clinical picture. This review intends to provide an insight into involvement of peripheral nervous system in episodic ataxias.
