contents We investigate magnetotransport in exfoliated nanostructures of the candidate magnetic 3D topological insulator $\mathrm{EuSn_{2}As_{2}}$. Similar to macroscopic single crystals, the negative magnetoresistance observed below the Néel temperature ($T_N$ = 24 K) is related to the canted antiferromagnetic state (CAF) of an easy-plane antiferromagnet (AFM), with an increase of the saturation field when tilting the applied magnetic field away from the (ab) plane ($μ_{0} H^{c}_{s}$ = 4.9 T, $μ_{0} H^{ab}_{s}$ = 3.6 T). Higher-accuracy measurements in nanostructures up to 14 T further evidence a non-linear normal Hall response due to several electronic bands. Interestingly, the transverse resistance due to magnetism reveals an anomalous Hall effect in the CAF state, but also a topological Hall effect due to chiral spin textures, as found in AFM or helical magnets. The presence of real-space chiral spin texture, already reported in another magnetic topological insulator, $\mathrm{MnBi_{2}Te_{4}}$, could be a characteristic generally appearing in magnetic 3D topological insulators.
