What is pediatric brain atrophy? How is cerebellar atrophy caused in children?

It's just that the child's brain has atrophied.

First, it is hereditary. Such as spinocerebellar degeneration, ataxia, dentate nucleus, globus pallidus, Lewy body atrophy, etc.

2. Deformability, which is reflected in multisystem atrophy and cerebral atrophy.

3. Ischemia and hypoxia, more common in carbon monoxide poisoning.

Fourth, it is drug poisoning, such as phenytoin poisoning.

5. Inflammatory, causing the sequelae of inflammatory acute cerebellia, it can also cause cerebellar atrophy.

6. Alcoholism, alcoholic cerebellar degeneration is also one of the cerebellar atrophys.

7. Others, including neuroparaneoplastic syndrome, are the main causes of cerebellar atrophy. Cerebellar atrophy is not a disease but a neuroimaging finding. Cerebellar atrophy can also be seen in some acute diseases, such as in the later stages of acute cerebellitis and in some people who are intoxicated by certain drugs or even in some clinically asymptomatic people.

A common feature is a decrease in cerebellar volume and widening of the sulci on neuroimaging, which can be divided into localized and generalized cerebellar atrophy.

Children have cerebellar atrophy, this situation should first clarify the specific **, such as hereditary cerebellar atrophy, some patients are due to brain trauma caused by cerebellar atrophy, and some patients are due to the lack of trace elements in the body caused by cerebellar atrophy. It is best to do a detailed examination, and after clarifying**, follow the doctor's guidance for symptoms**. Cerebellar atrophy disease cannot be completely controlled, but can only be controlled and prevented.

In daily life, patients should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits and supplement vitamins.

Cerebellar atrophy belongs to the category of "impotence syndrome" in traditional Chinese medicine, which is the evidence of positive deficiency and evil reality, and according to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, it is often blamed on kidney deficiency. Kidney contains essence, main bone, marrow, brain, kidney deficiency is cerebral medullary depletion, muscles and bones are dystrophied, and bone shaking and limb tremor. On the first level, we should start by nourishing the kidneys and brain, nourishing yin and nourishing blood, and treating both the symptoms and the root causes.

This method can significantly improve the immune function of the human body, ensure the subtle substances required for brain function activities, and remove stasis on the basis of tonifying the kidney and generating marrow, so that the qi of the five organs is vigorous, the qi and blood are vigorous, and the essence of qi and blood is active, and the diseased brain tissue is repaired. The cause of this disease is congenital deficiency of kidney yang, and later on, blood malnutrition causes the emptiness of the medullary sea, damages the gods, injures the muscles and veins, and causes motor dysfunction. With the rule of law to replenish the marrow and fill the marrow, benefit the kidney and fill the essence, regulate the qi and blood, and invigorate the blood and dispel blood stasis, the sea of marrow can be enriched, the whole body qi and blood are smooth, and the limb activities are coordinated and powerful.

The symptoms of the patient after the onset of the disease include uncoordinated movements of the limbs, inability to perform subtle movements, such as lifting the spoon to eat, threading needles and threads, and trembling, excessive reflexes and other symptoms.

This disease is caused by an abnormally large number of repetition of the nucleotide CAG on the chromosome, and because the CAG repetition sequence is mostly present in the expression sequence (EXON), there is a long chain of glutamine in the protein expressed in its gene, and this abnormal protein causes cell death. The chromosomes repetitively located according to CAG can be subdivided into different types of cerebellar atrophy.

In physiology, with aging, the cerebellum gradually atrophies, in fact, the entire brain of elderly people will atrophy to varying degrees. In the elderly, imaging features of cerebellar atrophy can be seen in CT or MRI of the brain. Normal physiological cerebellar atrophy does not cause significant inconvenience, but it requires intensive care from family members.

If older people have significant other manifestations of brain atrophy, they need to be examined and ** promptly.

Some cerebellar atrophy is caused by a disease, and this pathological change can cause the patient to develop corresponding symptoms. The cerebellum is the nerve center that controls the body's balance and coordination, and if a lesion occurs, it will affect the person's coordination and sense of balance.

The main causes of pathological cerebellar atrophy are metabolic disorders, endocrine hypofunction, slow blood flow, insufficient blood flow, increased blood viscosity, and thrombosis, which will lead to a decrease in the nutrients required by the brain, including the cerebellum. Other causes are smoking, alcoholism, long-term seizures, alcohol poisoning, gas poisoning, little outdoor activities, and other concomitant diseases that cause hypoxia in the patient's brain, causing apoptosis and atrophy of brain cells.

Cerebellar atrophy depends on whether it is physiological or pathological. According to the normal age of people, there can be a reduction in the brain volume of the whole brain, this brain atrophy is often physiological, not only the cerebellum will have atrophy, but also the situation of the entire cortical brain will have corresponding atrophy changes, which is physiological. Pathological cerebellar atrophy is common in the following diseases, first of all, it refers to special genetic diseases of the nervous system, and there will be some hereditary diseases, including cerebellar ataxia, etc., which will cause cerebellar atrophy.

There are others, such as stroke, local brain tissue blood circulation disorders after stroke, which can also cause subsequent secondary brain tissue atrophy, or brain cell apoptosis, causing changes in brain atrophy. There is also a condition of trauma, severe trauma to the cerebellum, as well as other metabolic diseases, serious infectious diseases, including special parasitic infections, that can cause the brain.

Pediatric cerebellar atrophy is a rare neurological disease, the specifics of which are not well understood, but the following factors may be related to the occurrence and development of pediatric cerebellar atrophy:

Genetic factors: There are some cases of cerebellar atrophy in children caused by inherited genetic defects, such as spasmodic torticollis, ankylosing spondylitis, etc.

Infectious factors: Some viruses, micromorphic bacteria and fungal infections can cause meningitis, encephalitis and other diseases, which in turn damage the nervous system of children and may lead to cerebellar atrophy.

Immune factors: Autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, etc., may cause the immune system to attack the nervous system of children, and may also be one of the causes of cerebellar atrophy in children.

Brain hypoxia: Najan was born with asphyxia, respiratory distress, cardiopulmonary resuscitation and other conditions that may lead to hypoxia in the child's brain, which in turn leads to cerebellar atrophy.

Drugs and chemicals: Some drugs and chemicals can cause damage to a child's nervous system, which can lead to cerebellar atrophy.

In short, the ** of cerebellar atrophy in children is multifaceted, and the specific cause needs to be determined by a doctor's examination and evaluation. For patients who have suffered from pediatric cerebellar atrophy, scientific fiber cultivation and atrophy should be carried out according to the doctor's advice, and the progression of the disease should be actively controlled.

1. Diseases occur during the fetal period.

If the mother is infected during pregnancy, the disease-causing virus or microorganism can be transmitted to the fetus through the placenta, causing damage to the fetus's brain tissue and even cerebellar atrophy after birth. Secondly, if the mother has severe gestational hypertension syndrome during pregnancy, the newborn is prone to dyspnea or suffocation during delivery, and even accompanied by intracranial hemorrhage, and then cerebellar atrophy is also prone to occur. Therefore, women should do various examinations before pregnancy to confirm that their physical condition is stable before they can consider trying to get pregnant.

During pregnancy, we should pay attention to observing our own conditions, do regular prenatal checkups, find out the abnormal conditions of ourselves and the fetus in a timely manner, and take measures as soon as possible to reduce the chance of cerebellar atrophy in newborns.

2. Genetic factors.

Some children have a relationship with cerebellar atrophy due to genetic factors, and if both parents have brain atrophy or someone else in the family has brain atrophy, then their children are many times more likely to develop brain atrophy than the general population.

3. Drug abuse.

If drugs are given to children, they can cause brain damage and even cerebellar atrophy. Especially for children with epilepsy, the indiscriminate use of drugs such as phenytoin may cause damage to the cerebral nervous system, thereby inducing cerebellar atrophy. Therefore, children must be standardized after illness, and they need to consult a professional doctor before taking medication, and take medication under the guidance of a doctor.

It is also necessary to pay attention to observation during the course of taking the drug, and once any abnormalities are found, the drug should be stopped or a doctor should be consulted in time.

No matter what kind of disease, only when we understand the cause of the disease can we do a good job of prevention. So what causes cerebellar atrophy? I believe that everyone is very concerned about this issue.

Cerebellar atrophy has always been a disease that disturbs many people, so we need to do a good job of prevention. The following is a detailed introduction to what causes cerebellar atrophy.

1. Endocrine diseases: It is a common cerebellar atrophy, such as diabetes, hyperlipidemia, hypothyroidism and hypoparathyroidism may cause cerebellar atrophy.

3. Cerebrovascular disease: It is related to cerebral infarction, cerebral thrombosis, cerebral hemorrhage and other diseases, due to a series of factors such as increased blood viscosity, slower blood flow, and rough blood vessel wall, which cause wall thrombosis. The narrowing or even blockage of the lumen of the blood vessels leads to ischemia, hypoxia, atrophy and even necrosis of the brain tissue cells in the vascular subdivisions, and finally cerebellar atrophy and death.

This is the most common type of cerebellar atrophy.

4. Tumor: Metabolic disorders caused by malignant tumors can lead to cerebellar atrophy, which is also a common type of cerebellar atrophy. Brain tumors can also directly damage brain tissue, leading to cerebellar atrophy.

5. Cerebellar atrophy, also known as spinocerebellar atrophy or spinocerebellar disorder, cerebellar atrophy is a type of genetic disease involving different genes. The onset of cerebellar atrophy is unknown, but most of them have a familial genetic tendency, and the onset of cerebellar atrophy before the age of 20 is mostly autosomal recessive, while the onset of cerebellar atrophy after the age of 20 is mostly autosomal dominant inheritance. After long-term research, many scholars at home and abroad have found that the causes of cerebellar atrophy are related to viral infection, immune deficiency, biochemical enzyme deficiency and abnormal DNA repair function, but its exact ** is not very clear.

Cerebellar atrophy seriously endangers many people and brings a lot of trouble to patients and their families, but because this disease is difficult, it is a major problem in the medical community, so we must do a good job in prevention.

Cerebellar atrophy in children is caused by a variety of factors.

Common ones include heredity, traumatic brain injury, cerebral infarction, encephalitis, cerebral ischemia, cerebral arteriosclerosis, gas poisoning, alcohol poisoning, etc.

These factors can cause destruction of the brain parenchyma and atrophy and deformation of nerve cells. Among them, the most important factor is long-term chronic ischemia of cerebrovascular vessels.

There are many causes of brain atrophy, including congenital and other diseases. Then further tests are needed to confirm the cause. Cerebellar atrophy is not easy to recover, so timely medical treatment and symptomatic treatment are required.

It can be used orally to nourish the nerves, in combination with acupuncture**.

Cerebellar atrophy is a chronic progressive brain disease that mainly damages the spinal cord and cerebellum, and is mostly inherited in families. Because children are relatively easy to correct.

1. The main manifestation of cerebellar atrophy is ataxia, some patients will walk and shake, and even become difficult to walk in the later stage; Some patients will shake their bodies back and forth when they stand still, and they cannot maintain their body balance well; There are also patients whose limbs cannot move according to their own wishes, and cannot accurately complete certain movements, such as playing ball, holding chopsticks, writing, etc.

2. Some patients present with cerebellar dysarthria, which is mainly manifested by unclear pronunciation, poor speech or poetic language.

3. Some patients will have hypotonia and eye rotation disorders, which are mainly manifested as binocular vibration, and the inability to quickly move the target and poor distance discrimination, such as not being able to play table tennis and writing bigger and bigger.

4. Some patients will have frequent emotional instability, irritability, tremor and dizziness.

5. Some patients will also be accompanied by memory impairment, abnormal intellectual development, incontinence, respiratory arrest while sleeping, etc.

Through the above introduction to cerebellar atrophy, I believe that patients also have a certain understanding of it. Cerebellar atrophy is very harmful, if parents find that their baby has the above symptoms, they should go to the hospital for examination in time, once it is diagnosed as cerebellar atrophy, it is best to carry out ** as soon as possible, so as not to cause greater harm to the baby.

When it comes to cerebral atrophy, many people think that it is a geriatric disease, but in fact, many babies are also plagued by cerebral atrophy. For infants, brain atrophy can seriously affect the baby's health and growth. So, can cerebellar atrophy be cured in infants?

Infant cerebellar atrophy can be carried out, but it can only slow down the aggravation of the disease and allow the child to have a certain ability to take care of himself, which means that infant cerebellar atrophy cannot be cured. When performing ** on infant cerebellar atrophy, we must pay attention to find out the cause of the disease, and at the same time need to activate the metabolic function of the brain.

Infant cerebellar atrophy can cause abnormal growth and development, mainly because the infant has growth and development retardation, which is mainly based on ****, and can also be combined with appropriate massage and physiotherapy. Such a method not only requires attention to nursing, but also needs to provide the child with the required nutrients and appropriate exercise. Through these methods, the baby will have a certain ability to take care of himself.

If the baby does have brain atrophy, a series of disorders will develop after the disease. These disorders are mainly manifested in the child's language impairment, emotional disorders, and some abnormal behaviors. In fact, there are predisposing reasons for the onset of cerebellar atrophy in infants, if the baby has cerebrovascular or tumor diseases.

The chance of cerebellar atrophy in infants is greatly increased.
