    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.

    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.

    The length of life of a person with cerebellar atrophy ataxia is not generalized because it depends on the patient's basic condition, the severity of the condition, and whether care is in place. Patients with cerebellar atrophy ataxia often walk unsteadily, staggering, and easily fall, especially in the elderly, which will cause fractures after falling, and fractures will cause a series of problems.

    In the late stage of cerebellar atrophy ataxia, in addition to cerebellar atrophy, there will be atrophy of other systems, such as cortical atrophy, brainstem atrophy, pyramidal tract atrophy, etc., so in the late stage of cerebellar atrophy, in addition to poor balance function, there will also be poor cognitive function, choking on drinking water, difficulty swallowing and other related symptoms, so the quality of life in the later stage is very poor, basically in a bed state. If the care is not done properly, it will cause aspiration pneumonia, lower extremity venous thrombosis, bedsores and other related complications, and aspiration pneumonia will cause cardiopulmonary failure, leading to the death of patients; Venous thrombosis of the lower extremities is easily complicated by pulmonary embolism, which is also a factor in the mortality of patients, so these complications are fatal factors leading to death in patients with cerebellar atrophy ataxia.

    Hello, ataxia is generally caused by cerebellar lesions, cerebellar atrophy for 15 years, will lead to the dysfunction of the whole body of the motor system, such as muscle atrophy, weakness, tremor and other effects of the recurrent laryngeal nerve or swallowing nerve will appear when choking, cerebellum has the effect of innervating and regulating the balance of the human body, cerebellar atrophy must lead to unsteady walking, medical call 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.

    Neurological diseases are tricky, and the drugs are mainly drugs that nourish the brain nerves, such as gangliosides, calf blood deproteinized extracts, brain rehabilitation, and vitamin drugs.

    Damage to the cerebellum for some reason causes the victim to have decreased muscle tone and a disturbance in the coordination of voluntary movements, which is called cerebellar ataxia. Cerebellar ataxia can be observed by the patient's daily living activities such as dressing, buttoning, holding water, and reading.

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. >>>More
