base of support
Explanation:
I think the polgone here is "polygone de sustentation" = "base of support"

Ataxie statique, avec élargissement du polygone de sustentation, pouvant rendre la station debout impossible.


Syndrome cérébelleux
Signes : Ataxie à la marche (polygone élargi + pas irréguliers), dysarthrie, ataxie des membres, nystagmus soutenu regard latéral.


* Gait ataxia with a widened base of support or bilateral foot drop may be observed

circle of willis


Explanation:
this is a pure guess - GDT has polygone de willis as circle of willis, apparently a pentagonal series of arteries at the base of the brain - I suppose it is a possibility if your report includes investigation of blood vessels of the brain
