Present study investigated volumetric volume changes in the brain of patients suffering from Gluten Ataxia (GA) using MRI. GA patients were seen to have significantly low brain and cerebellar volumes along the lobules which form the part of vermis suggesting cell degeneration and role of vermis in GA. GA patients also had significantly high levels of CSF. No significant changes were observed in whole brain grey matter, cerebrum, caudate, hippocampus and amygdala. Our results suggest that cerebrum volume is not linked to GA but lobes of cerebellum, whole brain white matter and CSF is significantly associated with GA.
