Novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV2, has caused pandemic of highly contagious disease
called coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), with epicenters in China, Italy,
Spain, and the USA. Primarily affecting the human respiratory system, SARS-CoV2
has some impact on the human brain, but apparently minimal on the cerebellum, at
least so far. Neurological involvement in the acute phase appears to manifest
with confusion, dizziness, impaired consciousness, propensity to develop acute
strokes, anosmia, hypogeusia, ataxia, epilepsy, and neuralgia. Cerebellar
scholars are facing a time of uncertainty. Telemedicine has suddenly emerged as
an alternative to follow patients. There is an urgent need to develop novel
platforms to assess and follow ataxic patients remotely, especially because
cerebellar patients often require ambulatory care to maintain their autonomy.
