Scleroderma is a rare autoimmune disease characterized by inflammation, vascular damage and fibrosis. The importance and frequency of neurological involvement in scleroderma is a matter of significant debate in the literature. In the past years, it has been reported that central nervous system involvement is unusual in systemic scleroderma. Determinants of
neurological damage have been shown to be renal crises, cardiovascular and pulmonary involvement, and treatment. In recent years, studies based on magnetic resonance imaging describe changes often associated with asymptomatic neurological involvement, regardless of disease severity, complications, or duration. In this case report, a case of
neurological involvement with ataxia, which is rare in scleroderma, was examined.
