What is the difference between cerebellar atrophy and ataxia?

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.

Cerebellar atrophy, there will generally be symptoms of ataxia, but there is ataxia, not necessarily caused by cerebellar atrophy, if there is cerebellar atrophy, there will be memory loss, can not walk normally, the harm to the body is relatively greater, so you need to go to the hospital for a cranial CT examination, if it is cerebellar atrophy, you need to use drugs to nurture the nerves ** is better.

Cerebellar atrophy can cause an attack**, but not all supply quality causes cerebellar atrophy, for example, many diseases can cause supply disorders, which are very different, very different, and different.

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

Cerebellar atrophy is a group of central nervous system diseases with ataxia as the main manifestation, which is mostly hereditary from the prime of life. The patient's limbs are impaired in balance to complete various movements, and when walking, they often look down at the road under their feet, and dare not face the front, and the most serious possibility is brain damage, which affects intelligence, and they are completely unable to take care of themselves in life, and they are paralyzed in bed. 1. At the beginning of the disease, the patient will walk like a drunk person, and his reaction will become sluggish, his movements will not be smooth, and he will not be able to reach heavy objects.

The legs are uncoordinated, the muscles are stiff, and some specific movements cannot be done, such as running, climbing, playing ball, etc. When you don't move, your body will shake and you can easily bump into objects when you walk. Poor eye movement, inability to quickly move targets, poor ability to distinguish distance.

2. After some time, the uncoordination of the limbs is aggravated, and the movement disorder is obvious. Unable to control posture and pace, walking like a penguin, and easily falling. Wobbly, legs slightly spread or scissor steps, unable to maintain balance, even more impossible to walk far, so running is even more impossible, it is difficult to go up and down stairs, and the body cannot be flexibly adjusted when walking.

Slurred speech, difficulty writing, and easy choking when eating or drinking.

Cerebellar atrophy is a familial dominant genetic disorder of the psychiatric system, which will cause shaky and unsteady movements when walking, and walk like a penguin. Cerebellar ataxia is caused by tissue damage, and it is manifested by a decline in body function, causing the coordination of movements to become disordered, and he cannot control himself.

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.

Interim symptom presentation:

1. The sense of incoordination of limbs and muscles is aggravated, and the phenomenon of movement disorder is obvious.

2. Unable to control posture and pace, like a penguin walking; Wobbly, legs slightly spread or scissor step, inability to maintain balance, inability to walk long distances, inability to run, difficulty going up and down stairs, inability to adjust the body flexibly when walking. Therefore, it is easy to fall.

3. Knotted tongue, unclear speech, difficulty in writing, easy to choke when eating or drinking.

Late symptom presentation:

1. Speech is extremely unclear, unable to control the pitch, even unable to speak, indecipherable writing, and difficulty swallowing.

2. Unable to stand, or even sit up, need to rely on a wheelchair to walk, or stay in bed, unable to take care of themselves.

3. If the brain or peripheral nerves are affected, the patient's intelligence will be affected.

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.
