What is the difference between cerebellar atrophy and ataxia?

Manifestations of cerebellar ataxia include postural and gait abnormalities, impaired coordination of voluntary movements, speech disorders, eye movement disorders, and hypotonia. Lesions in the cerebellar vermis can cause ataxia of the head and trunk, causing the patient to move back and forth, walk with a staggering gait, unsteady standing, and a gait with the legs apart. If one cerebellar hemisphere is damaged, there will usually be a tilt to the affected side, and in the case of motor coordination disorders, lesions in the cerebellar hemisphere will appear, ataxia of the ipsilateral limb, speech disorders, and cerebellar lesions will appear as a pause or waterfall, which will appear as a poetic language.

Cerebellar ataxia can cause coarse nystagmus in both eyes, and a few will also have downbeat nystagmus, ** nystagmus, etc., cerebellar lesions will have hypotonia, decreased tendon reflexes, and endplate-like tendon reflexes.

Name: Mr. Lu.

Age: 46 years old.

Course of illness: I had unsteady walking before, and I didn't go for a check-up, and I didn't care about it. After two years, the condition gradually worsened, and the diagnosis of cerebellar atrophy was confirmed.

Now he is unable to walk normally, and his body slowly appears with symptoms such as shaky walking, unsteady gait, slurred speech, dizziness, insomnia and dreams, weakness of the lower limbs, general weakness, blurred vision, blurred vision, blurred double vision, etc.; Previously, the method of combining Chinese and Western methods was adopted, and the effect was not improved much, and I also did ** exercise, but the condition did not improve.

Previously**: took drugs such as clonazepam, butylphthalide, coenzyme Q10, etc., but the condition never improved.

Now**: "Brain Walking Soup**".

After a course of treatment: dizziness, insomnia and dreams, blurred vision has improved somewhat, and mental state has changed.

After six courses of treatment: walking steadily, walking posture is basically normal, can also walk in a straight line, lower limb muscle strength is basically recovered, dizziness, slurred speech, insomnia and dreams are basically recovered, coughing, swallowing is basically recovered, and then continue to consolidate a course of treatment, the symptoms are basically none, and now there is no recurrence in the ** return visit.

Suggestion: Patients with cerebellar ataxia should also maintain daily nutrition and calorie intake, and patients with many sequelae of cerebral hemorrhage are prone to aphasia and inability to express their physical condition, cerebellar ataxia, which leads to a lack of nutrients in the patient's body and needs to be ingested from food.

Cerebellar atrophy, also known as spinocerebellar atrophy, is a familial dominant hereditary disease of the mental system. Cerebellar ataxia is caused by the damage of a certain tissue of the cerebellum, which is manifested by the decline of body function, which causes the coordination of movement to become disordered, and it is impossible to control itself.

Hello, cerebellar ataxia is the most common symptom (hereditary ataxia) and almost 100% of patients with IAS have ataxia manifestations.

Cerebellar ataxia can be observed by the daily activities of patients with IAS, such as dressing, buttoning, holding water, writing, eating, speech, gait, etc.

unsteady walking, staggering gait, inflexible movements, legs wide apart when walking;

Adults with the disease cannot walk in a straight line.

Moving forward in a curve from left to right, manifested as a scissor step, deflecting in a "Z" shape, and trying to use both upper limbs to help maintain the stability of the body.

Changes in muscle tone can change from decreased lesion to spasticity, and the ataxic gait can change to spastic ataxia.

Unsteady standing, leaning forward or swaying from side to side, more prominent when standing on tiptoe or heel, easy to fall is often the early complaint of patients.

Patients often say, "Walking on small or uneven roads is more noticeable when walking unsteadily, and it is more likely to fall".

As the disease progresses, patients may present with unsteady or impotent sit-up until they remain bedridden.

Ataxia and cerebellar atrophy are two diseases with different symptoms, but ataxia and cerebellar atrophy may also be mutually factors, which will cause mutual aggravation and progression. Cerebellar atrophy predisposes to ataxia, and patients with ataxia may also have cerebellar atrophy in progression.

Ataxia is generally a balance dysfunction with some conditions such as unsteady walking, choking on drinking water, etc., and it is easy to fall. Cerebellar atrophy is generally a disorder of cerebellar balance caused by lesions or infarctions, which can lead to choking on water, difficulty swallowing, unsteady walking, and inability to walk normally.

Generally speaking, if the patient has cerebellar atrophy, then it can lead to the symptoms of ataxia, such as the patient may not hold things steadily, and may have an intentional normal walk with a wider step, and some patients may even have food-like language, in addition, the patient may also experience dizziness, head swelling and other discomforts, so if the patient has ataxia, it must be ruled out whether there is damage to the central nervous system, and whether there is cerebellar hemorrhage, Infarction or cerebellar atrophy, in general, ataxia may also be due to some patients. If there is a vestibular or spinal cord lesion, for example, some patients may have degeneration of the spinal cord, which is prone to lesions of the posterior cord of the spinal cord, then the patient may also have ataxia.

Cerebellar atrophy, also known as spinocerebellar atrophy, is a familial dominant hereditary disease of the psychiatric system, which is a late-onset encephalopathy, which is caused by delayed pathological changes caused by the blood supply disorder in the innervated area of the original affected nerve due to too long ischemic time. Generally, after the onset of the disease, there will be staggering and unsteady movements when walking, and some are like little penguins; Cerebellar ataxia is caused by the damage of a certain tissue of the cerebellum, which is manifested by the decline of body function, which causes the coordination of movement to become disordered, and it is impossible to control itself.

Cerebellar atrophy and ataxia are two diseases that produce different symptoms, but ataxia and cerebellar atrophy may be mutually reciprocal.

The cerebellum has the effect of dominating and regulating the balance of the human body, and cerebellar atrophy must lead to unsteadiness in walking, which is medically called ataxia. Cerebellar atrophy is a late-onset encephalopathy caused by delayed pathological changes in the innervated area of the original affected nerve due to prolonged ischemia. Whether the disease can be controlled and continues to develop, it is necessary to analyze the disease data in order to agree on effective measures, otherwise the disease is prone to delay the onset of more serious neuroatrophy and other leading to dementia and paralysis.

Dr. Du can**, at the same time, use nerve regeneration drugs to stimulate and activate paralyzed nerves in order to regenerate and repair nerves and obtain the best recovery of various functions. The key to recovery lies in the early stage. Need help sending magnetic resonance** for your guidance.

Ataxia caused by cerebellar atrophy refers to the atrophy of cerebellar cells due to cerebellar tissue, due to various **, resulting in the loss or weakening of various functions of the cerebellum, and the cerebellum is responsible for the loss of the ability to function, or the ability to function is weakened An imbalanced disease, the cerebellum is a part of the brain tissue, which is generally responsible for the body's balance consciousness, as well as part of the function of breathing. Suggestion: The principle is early detection and early detection, so as not to delay the disease and inconvenience life.
