What are the early manifestations of cerebellar atrophy?

Cerebellar atrophy, in the early stage, the patient's main manifestation is the symptom of vertigo, because the cerebellar atrophy, he is a balanced organ, so the patient with cerebellar atrophy, he will have vertigo in the early stage. When ataxia balance disorder is severe, he may have some special symptoms, such as slurred arthria and poor fluency in speech, and in severe cases, he may also have some difficulties in daily life. For example, some fine movements are poorly completed, and some specific command actions cannot be completed, such as buttoning.

In patients with cerebellar atrophy, the main manifestation in the early stages is a vertigo symptom.

1. Ataxia.

Ataxia is the most common symptom of cerebellar atrophy and the first symptom of the disease. The main manifestation of this symptom is an unsteady gait, and after the disease, the patient will have a drunken or scissor-like gait. When the disease reaches an advanced stage, there may be a reaction of not being able to walk, and the patient needs to take more bed rest and take timely measures to deal with it.

2. Dysarthria.

Dysarthria is also a precerebellar atrophy symptom. It is mainly manifested as slurred speech, and may also manifest as explosive speech or poetry-like speech, which will directly affect normal work and life. Therefore, after discovering the symptoms, we must pay attention to them and carry out targeted improvement measures as soon as possible to avoid more serious consequences.

3. Cranial nerve dysfunction.

Patients with cerebellar atrophy will also have cranial nerve dysfunction in the early stage, and patients will mainly have dizziness, forgetfulness, memory loss, nervous sluggishness, unresponsiveness, hand and foot tremor and other reactions. If these symptoms are not improved in time, as the disease progresses, when it reaches an advanced stage, the patient will have facial and tongue paralysis, paresthesia, limb movement disorders and other conditions.

4. Cognitive impairment.

Cognitive impairment is also a precursor symptom of cerebellar atrophy. Patients mainly show forgetfulness and loss. At this time, the patient has no way to understand the meaning of others, and when the disease progresses to an advanced stage, it will make it difficult to take care of himself.

Cerebellar atrophy has different symptoms at different stages, but the disease development of patients with cerebellar atrophy is a gradual process, which is roughly divided into three stages, early, middle and late, and the initial symptoms mainly include the following manifestations:

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

2. The patient is unable to control posture and pace, and looks 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.

3. Easy to fall. Knotted tongue, unclear speech, difficulty writing, and easy choking when eating or drinking.

The initial symptoms of cerebellar atrophy are mental retardation, dementia, etc., and even symptoms such as dizziness, headache, and loss of sleep.

1. Ataxia: unsteady walking, swaying walking, drunken gait;

2. Capitalization: abnormal handwriting, sloppy handwriting, and very large;

3. Language abnormalities: pronunciation abnormalities, manifested as intonation and frustration, poetry-like language;

4. Decreased muscle tone: soreness, weakness and other manifestations of the whole body;

5. Poor distance discrimination: After cerebellar injury, there is poor distance discrimination, hail and unstable access, and it is often easy to hit things;

6. Intentional tremor: unstable holding of objects when picking up things;

7. Dizziness: It can be drowsy, mostly dizziness accompanied by the rotation of things.

If the cerebellar vermis is atrophied, the ataxia of the trunk is the main problem, and symptoms such as limb coordination, distance resolution, intentional tremor, and dizziness will occur in the cerebellar hemisphere.

8.Cerebellar atrophy is a degenerative disease of the nervous system, and the early symptoms may be manifested as mental retardation, dementia and other symptoms, and with the development of the disease, memory impairment, aphasia, apraxia, agnosia and other manifestations will appear, and it is difficult to adapt to social work and study.

9 .In the early stage, there will be dizziness, headache, insomnia, dreaminess, soreness in the waist and knees, numbness in the hands and feet, and gradually slow reaction, slow movement, muttering, answering questions and other symptoms.

Note: The symptoms of cerebellar atrophy are more serious, it is recommended to seek medical attention in time, go to the hospital for a complete and detailed examination, and follow the doctor's instructions to treat the symptoms**.

The early manifestations of cerebellar atrophy vary from person to person, and as people gradually grow older, there may be some degenerative diseases, cerebellar atrophy.

It is a manifestation of degenerative disease, mild cerebellar atrophy, and the patient does not have obvious symptoms.

The brain tissue of the human body has a strong compensatory nature, and mild cerebellar atrophy does not cause dysfunction in the human body, and atrophy is an imaging diagnosis, not a clinical diagnosis.

If severe cerebellar atrophy occurs, obvious clinical symptoms may occur, which are mainly manifested as unsteady walking, swaying left and right when walking, unsteady holding of objects in both hands, and severe cases will obviously affect daily life and work.

1. Autonomic dysfunction such as orthostatic hypotension, flaccid bladder (urinary incontinence or retention), sexual dysfunction and sweating disorders are all symptoms of early cerebellar atrophy.

2. Cerebellar ataxiaCerebellar dysfunction is the most prominent symptom of this disease, accounting for 73%, which is manifested as progressive cerebellar ataxia. It usually appears early, with bilateral lower extremity weakness and ataxia being the most common first symptoms (88%). It is first manifested in both lower limbs, and often complains of weakness, weakness, and easy falling, and is a symptom of early cerebellar atrophy.

3. The symptoms of early cerebellar atrophy in ocular motility disorder are similar to supranuclear ophthalmoplegia, which can be manifested as verdiacular dysfunction and extraocular muscle dysfunction, and slow ocular movement or saccade movement may be a characteristic clinical sign of OPCA, and the mechanism is unknown. Electronystagmography may show horizontal gaze nystagmus, abnormal smooth tracking, optokinetic nystagmus, and failure of visual suppression in cold and warm experiments, and optic nerve atrophy.

4. Slow and inflexible voluntary activities, unstable gait, impaired balance, and widening of the base. Gradually appear fine motor inability of both upper limbs, clumsiness and instability. Symptoms of cranial nerve damage due to cerebellar dysfunction are dizziness, dysarthria, intermittent speech, dysphagia, choking on water, nystagmus, and intention tremor.

In some cases, fasciculations of the tongue and facial muscles may occur. Facial nerve paralysis can also occur, which is one of the symptoms of early cerebellar atrophy.

Cerebellar atrophy is a degenerative disease that occurs in older people, and the most common symptom of patients is unsteady gait, which can also be manifested by drunken posture or scissor gait. Some patients may also experience dizziness, unresponsiveness, memory loss, and cranial nerve dysfunction such as tremor. Some patients will have dysarthria, cognitive impairment and other conditions, such as slurred speech, frequent forgetfulness, loss, and even eye swing left and right, and patients in the advanced stage may also have the situation of being unable to take care of themselves.

Symptoms in the early stages of cerebellar atrophy include impaired balance, unsteady walking, swaying walking, and large spacing between legs.

There are many causes of cerebellar atrophy, such as cerebral ischemia, drug poisoning, lack of trace elements, hereditary factors, traumatic brain injury, head surgery, etc., it is recommended to go to a regular hospital for examination, and then treat the symptoms.

Cerebellar atrophy has no obvious specific changes in the early stage, and patients may have relatively mild manifestations of brain function decline, the most common of which include drowsiness, memory loss, motor coordination, and mood changes, but these symptoms cannot be characterized as early changes in brain atrophy. Generally, if the patient has a family history of cerebral atrophy and has symptoms such as recent memory and exercise loss, a CT examination of the brain is routinely performed to determine the intracranial condition. If there are already relatively mild CT findings of the head, routine intermittent oxygen inhalation and drugs related to improving brain cell metabolism** are recommended to avoid progressive atrophy of brain atrophy, and family members need to strengthen monitoring and nursing of the patient to avoid accidents.

Zhongjiao is in debt! Long-term blood pressure is not in the normal range! It is an advanced symptom of high blood pressure (heart disease) or low blood pressure (heart disease).

Dizziness, unsteady walking, choking on eating.

In general, the clinical symptoms in the early stage of cerebellar atrophy include weakened ability to discriminate, no distinction between distance and proximity, inflexible response, slow movements, inability to lift heavy objects, uncoordinated legs when going up and down stairs, and even inability to complete some fine movements, muscle stiffness, etc. If you suspect that you have cerebellar atrophy, it is recommended that the patient immediately go to the hospital for neuroimaging examination, and then follow the doctor's advice to treat the symptoms**, and usually carry out appropriate exercises to improve flexibility.

If cerebellar atrophy occurs, most cases will cause unsteady walking, unclear speech consciousness, or left and right movement disorders, and there will be an imbalance in daily work, and it may even threaten normal speech and hearing. Because the cerebellum is the place where the auxiliary motor center of the human body is concentrated, it can control the consistency and coordination of the body's motor homeostasis, and because when people are usually drunk, alcohol first affects the cerebellum, so if the cerebellum is atrophied, the state is similar to that of alcohol. However, cerebellar atrophy will not affect the life and health of the human body, and will only have a certain impact on the usual living conditions, but if it is not treated for a long time and makes it worse, it will cause a burden on the family.

The following conditions may occur in the early stages of cerebellar atrophy:

First, balance disorder, in the early stage of cerebellar atrophy, the function of the cerebellum to regulate the balance of the human body is affected, and the patient will be unstable on his feet, swaying when walking, and swaying from side to side; Second, speech disorder, cerebellar atrophy may appear slow speech, slurred speech, inaccurate pronunciation and other symptoms; Third, changes in muscle tone may occur with decreased tone in the ipsilateral hemisphere, progressive generalized muscle strength, and paralysis similar to tremens. The specific condition of the patient should be judged according to the hospital examination.

The early manifestations of cerebellar atrophy are not obvious, so some people will ignore and not pay attention, resulting in serious consequences, so patients should go to the hospital for examination in time if they have the above conditions.
