What are the types of cerebellar atrophy, and there are several types of cerebellar atrophy

Five types. 1.Cerebellar atrophy mainly due to cerebellar pathological changes: clinical instability of gait, ataxia, slurred speech, choking cough, etc.

2.Cerebral atrophy with cerebral cortex atrophy as the main pathological change: memory loss and unresponsiveness.

3.Hereditary brain atrophy: It can be divided into autosomal dominant and recessive inheritance, and genetic testing is often required to confirm the diagnosis.

4.Localized cerebral atrophy: It is brain degeneration or trauma caused by the lesion of local brain tissue, and local cerebral malacia caused by surgery, which can produce localized atrophy in and around the lesion site.

5.Degenerative brain atrophy: It is a common and frequent senile disease with cerebral dysfunction, neurological dysfunction and dementia as the main manifestations due to different degrees of atrophy and degeneration of the brain, cerebellum and pontine olive.

Due to the different scope and development process of the lesions, there are many types of clinical signs of cerebellar atrophy, and its main symptoms are unsteady walking, poor movement, weakness in gripping, slurred speech, dizziness, heavy head, head swelling, headache, accompanied by diplopia or blurred vision, swallowing, trembling in writing, and urinary and urinary disorders.

Like other movement disorders, it is a condition that causes difficulty in moving the body and other associated symptoms due to the inability to coordinate fine muscle movements. This disease can be divided into cerebellar disorders, spinal cord dysfunction, autonomic nervous system disorders, and involuntary movement disorders.

The symptoms of each type are slightly different and vary from patient to patient. In general, the patient's mental capacity is not affected, but the body gradually loses control.

The identification of pathogenic genes for cerebellar atrophy can accurately and quickly identify the genetic causes of the patient's disease, find and design the best program according to the pathogenic genes, guide genetic correction, and avoid the recurrence of offspring or second children.

Spinocerebellar Atrophy, also known as spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) or spinocerebellar disorder, is a type of genetic disease with many types, and different types involve different genes. Among them, the incidence of SCA3 is higher in China, followed by SCA2, SCA1, SCA6, SCA7, etc. There are many phenotypes of spinocerebellar atrophy, and further diagnosis requires identification of the causative gene of spinocerebellar atrophy.

So how do you know if you have ataxia?

1. In the case of ataxia in the finger-nose test, it is manifested as different movements, speed and slowness, and the target can only be pointed after fingering or adjustment. Cerebellar hemisphere lesions present with ataxia that is more pronounced the ipsilateral approach to the target, and the target may often be exceeded due to poor dissociation. In sensory ataxia, ataxia is unobstructed with eyes open, but obvious ataxia occurs with eyes closed.

Cerebellar atrophy, ataxia, and multiple system atrophy are progressive diseases that can eventually lead to paralysis and inability to take care of themselves.

1. Adjust the airflow in the mouth through breathing exercises.

Breathing exercises can be used to strengthen the adjustment of airflow, oral movements to drive the movement of the tongue, exercise the coordination of local muscle movements, and maintain normal speech function, which can promote the recovery of patients with cerebellar atrophy who already have speech disorders.

2. Improve patients' interest through various forms of exercise.

It is difficult for patients to adhere to simple speech training for a long time, so it is necessary to enrich the training content in the form of tongue twisters, storytelling, questions, etc., to stimulate the patient's interest in practice, and family members should also supervise the patient to help the sick person recover faster.

3. Stand and step.

Stand with your legs together, hold the back of the chair with your hands, and do a stepping motion, raising your legs as high as possible, repeating 10 times on each leg.

The five main types of brain atrophy:

1. Hereditary cerebral atrophy.

It is divided into chromosomal dominant and recessive inheritance, and is clinically divided into spinal cord type, spinocerebellar type, cerebellar type and peripheral type according to the pathological characteristics, which is also the classification of brain atrophy.

2. Localized cerebral atrophy.

Brain tissue degeneration caused by local brain tissue lesions or local cerebral malacia caused by surgery can produce localized atrophy in and around the lesion site, also known as some kind of encephalopathy or sequelae of brain injury, which is also one of the common types of brain atrophy in several types of brain atrophy.

3. Degenerative brain atrophy.

It is a common and frequent senile disease with different degrees of atrophy and degeneration of the brain, cerebellum and olive bridge, resulting in brain dysfunction, neurological dysfunction and dementia. For elderly patients, degenerative brain atrophy is a physiological necessity, but the time and degree of clinical occurrence vary greatly, with age, there is a certain degree of sluggishness, memory loss is mostly physiological, premature, obvious symptoms should pay attention to prevention and **.

4. Brain atrophy.

Clinically, motor dysfunction, memory loss and unresponsiveness are common. This is one of the subtypes of cerebral atrophy.

5. Cerebellar atrophy.

Clinically, gait instability, ataxia, slurred speech, choking cough and so on are common.

1.Transmissibility.

Such as spinocerebellar degeneration (SCA), Friedreich ataxia, dentate nucleus, globus pallidus, Lewy body atrophy, etc.

2.Denaturation.

Multiple system atrophy cerebral type (MSA-C).

3.Ischemic-hypoxic.

Carbon monoxide poisoning.

4.Drug intoxication.

Phenytoin. 5.Inflammatory.

Sequelae of acute cerebellia.

6.Alcoholism.

Alcoholic cerebellar degeneration.

7.Other. Neurological paraneoplastic syndromes.

Hereditary ataxia is a group of disorders characterized by progressive balance disorders and limb coordination movement disorders. Due to the complex nature of genetic heterogeneity and phenotypic variation, it is difficult to make an accurate diagnosis based on phenotype alone. Typical cases include progressive walking difficulties, clumsiness, speech or visual disturbances, nystagmus, chanted language, dysmetria, tremor, and gait ataxia.

Name: Mr. Zhang.

Age: 78 years old.

Course of disease: 10 years ago, the symptoms of "cerebellar ataxia" were diagnosed and gradually worsened. Dizziness with tinnitus, weakness of the legs, inability to walk independently, long-term bed rest, inability to take care of urine and urine, slurred speech, insomnia, choking on food, and intention tremor.

Now**: Brain Walking Soup**.

After a course of treatment: sleep quality has improved, dizziness and tinnitus have improved.

After three courses of treatment: dizziness and tinnitus are getting better and better, walking has improved, speech has been relieved, urine and bowel movements have improved, and sleep quality is getting better and better.

After ten courses of treatment: dizziness and tinnitus have recovered, muscle strength has basically recovered, being able to walk independently has been stable, speaking has been restored, swallowing and coughing have been recovered, urine and urine have been recovered, tremor has been recovered, and then continued to consolidate a course of treatment, the symptoms are basically non-existent, and now there is no recurrence in the ** return visit. (The drug compatibility of each course of Brain Jianbu Decoction is different, the same disease is different, and one-to-one syndrome differentiation is adopted, one disease for 10,000 people, one person for one person).

Suggestion: If the patient has ataxia and affects the gait, the patient's gait and posture must be corrected to improve the patient's quality of life. In addition, patients also need to replenish energy and nutrition, for this diet must be light, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits.

If the patient is paralyzed in bed, it is necessary to strengthen the exercise of the limbs and strengthen the turning over and patting the back. to avoid pressure sores, lung infections, and deep vein thrombosis of the lower extremities.

Cerebellar atrophy is not a disease but a neuroimaging finding. It can be seen not only in some hereditary and degenerative diseases, but also in some acute courses such as the late stage of acute cerebellitis and some drug poisoning, and even in some clinically asymptomatic people, cerebellar atrophy can also be seen in imaging examinations, especially in the elderly. Common features are decreased cerebellar volume and widened sulci on neuroimaging.

It can be divided into localized and generalized cerebellar atrophy. Because the cerebellum is mainly involved in the regulation of somatic balance and muscle tone, patients with cerebellar atrophy often have symptoms such as gait instability, ataxia, and slurred speech.

The manifestations of cerebellar atrophy are generally divided into three stages: early, middle and late, if the patient is found to have early symptoms, he should take the medication in time and according to the doctor's instructions to avoid serious impact on daily life.

1.Early cerebellar atrophy: the main manifestations are inflexible action response, dizziness when walking, and difficulty in lifting heavy objects; Uncoordinated legs, stiff muscles, inability to complete assigned movements, body shaking when standing, eye movement disorders, such as not being able to play table tennis.

2.Middle stage of cerebellar atrophy: motor disorders, muscle stiffness is significantly aggravated, speech is not clear, eating and drinking are easy to choke, walking like a penguin, swaying and unable to maintain balance, easy to fall, etc.

3.Advanced stage of cerebral atrophy: inability to distinguish speech, inability to control the tone, difficulty swallowing, inability to stand or sit up, inability to take care of oneself, and some patients' intelligence will also be affected.

In addition, if the patient is found to have early cerebellar atrophy symptoms, it is recommended that in addition to drug recuperation, he should go outdoors frequently to promote the normal operation of the brain and effectively alleviate cerebellar atrophy. Symptoms of cerebellar atrophy include ataxia, speech disorders, eye movement disorders, muscle dysfunction, and mental disorders. There may also be no obvious symptoms.

Cerebellar atrophy is a sign found during neuroimaging examinations such as CT and MRI of the head, which can be caused by genetics, drug intoxication, alcoholism, carbon monoxide poisoning, trauma, encephalitis, etc., and can also be the normal aging process of the brain.

Symptomatic manifestations of cerebellar atrophy ataxia at various stages:

Initial symptoms:

1. Walking is like getting drunk (dizziness).

2. The action response is less flexible, and it is difficult to lift heavy objects.

3. The legs are uncoordinated when going up and down the stairs, the muscles are stiff, and some specific actions cannot be completed accurately, such as running, climbing, playing ball, etc.

4. When standing still, the body will shake back and forth, and it is easy to splash out when carrying water. It is easy to bump into walls or door frames when walking.

5. There is an obstacle in eye movement, and the target cannot be quickly transferred.

6. Poor ability to distinguish distance, such as not being able to play table tennis.

The function of the cerebellum is to control balance and fine motor skills, and cerebellar atrophy will cause balance dysfunction, fine motor inability and other conditions, and the symptoms are as follows: 1. Dysfunction of speech function: speech is not as fluent as normal people, there is a very good description, called chant-like language or explosive language, and the same as the curtain or speech and singing a poem, there will be problems with speech; 2. Limb shaking:

The involuntary shaking of the hand, which is not the same as Parkinson's trembling, cerebellar atrophy is shaking when holding something, which is a kind of intentional tremor; 3. Unsteady walking: Walking is different from normal people, a bit like the gait of a drunk, upside down, the legs are relatively open to walk, and there is no way to walk on the field path or path; 4. Dysphagia: swallowing dysfunction will be combined in the later stage; 5. Blurred vision:

There are blurred vision, visual objects are in response to each other, and sometimes the eyes shake involuntarily. There are many symptoms of cerebellar atrophy, and the causes are complex, which can be degenerative diseases, that is, symptoms of human aging; It can also be a neurodegenerative disease, and the degenerative lesions of the nervous system will develop to a stage where cerebellar atrophy will occur, and it can also be combined with other problems such as cerebral hemorrhage, so it is recommended to seek medical attention in time**.

1. Abnormal gait, feet apart, staggering gait, swaying from side to side, drunken gait when walking;

2. Balance disorder, unable to maintain a straight and intelligent posture, unsteady standing, leaning forward or backward, and difficulty in standing with eyes closed;

3. Dyslexia of limb co-acre, fine motor Acacia is worse than coarse movement, ataxia starts from the lower limbs, and the lower limbs are heavier than the upper limbs;

4. Dysarthria and slow speech in language;

5. Horizontal or rotational tremor of the eyeball.

Cerebellar atrophy is precisely a neuroimaging finding that is common in certain genetic disorders and neurodegenerative disorders. For patients with cerebellar atrophy, common symptoms include ataxia, language dysfunction, eye movement disorders, muscle dysfunction, and other imbalances.

1. Ataxia: decreased body coordination, symptoms such as unsteady standing, swaying walking, slightly stretched legs or scissor steps, and at the same time, unable to maintain balance, and irregular writing;

2. Language dysfunction: mainly due to the symptoms of ataxia of the lips, tongue, throat and other muscles, generally manifested as poetry-like speech, slurred speech, slow speech, pronunciation collision, etc.;

3. Ocular motility disorder: mainly eye muscle motility disorder, which will cause the left and right swing of the eyeball;

4. Muscle dysfunction: mainly due to decreased muscle tone, easy to choke when eating or drinking;

5. Others: Some cases are combined with cognitive impairment and movement disorders, such as senile dementia and spinocerebellar ataxia.

If the cerebellar atrophy is found by imaging examination, and there are the above symptoms, it is recommended to go to the neurology department in time to see a doctor, use drugs to treat the symptoms, and if the symptoms are severe, you need to cooperate with the training. In addition, it is necessary to quit smoking and drinking, develop good eating habits, and avoid using drugs that damage the brain tissue of hunger residue to avoid aggravating symptoms.
