Let's talk about CANVAS!

Hello everyone,

How are you doing today?

Cerebellar Ataxia with Neuropathy and Vestibular Areflexia Syndrome (CANVAS) is an autosomal recessive late-onset heredodegenerative multisystem neurological disease. The symptoms include poor balance and difficulty walking. Chronic cough and difficulty swallowing may also be present. Clinical findings include ataxia, sensory neuropathy, and absence of the vestibulo–ocular reflex. 

Are you affected by CANVAS syndrome? What are your symptoms? How do you treat it? What do you want people to know about it?

Feel free to share and exchange in the comments below!

Have a great day,

Lizzi from the Carenity Team
