Late symptoms of cerebellar atrophy, late symptoms of cerebellar atrophy?

Patients with cerebellar atrophy often have very serious symptoms in the later stage, and there will be cerebellar dysfunction, which is mainly manifested by balance dysfunction and motor coordination dysfunction, and in the late stage, patients are often unable to stand up, and will fall to the side when they stand up, and patients need to be in a wheelchair for a long time.

In addition, some patients will have obvious muscle atrophy in the later stage of cerebellar atrophy, and his language function will also be affected, and he will not be able to speak clearly if he cannot control his pronunciation normally, and sometimes he will not be able to write.

Patients with cerebellar atrophy are mainly bedridden and unable to walk in the later stage. The function of the cerebellum is responsible for balance, and the main symptom of cerebellar atrophy is balance dysfunction. In the middle or early stage of cerebellar atrophy, patients often have difficulty walking, even if they can walk, they are wobbly and very unstable, and it is easy to fall, especially in the elderly, after falling, it will cause fractures, and fractures will cause a series of problems after being bedridden.

In addition, in the later stage of cerebellar atrophy, in addition to cerebellar atrophy, there will be atrophy of other systems, such as atrophy of the cortex, atrophy of the brainstem, atrophy of the pyramidal tract, and so on. Therefore, in the late stage of cerebellar atrophy, in addition to poor balance function, there will also be some cognitive dysfunction, choking on water, dysphagia and other related complications, so the quality of life in the later stage is very poor, basically in a state of bed rest. If not properly cared for, it can lead to complications such as aspiration pneumonia, venous thrombosis of the lower extremities, and pressure sores.

Cerebellar atrophy is becoming more and more common, and it is a neurological disease, and more and more elderly people are affected by the disease, which can produce uncomfortable manifestations such as slurred speech, difficulty walking, and general weakness after the onset of the disease. In life, we should pay more attention to the health of the elderly around us, understand cerebellar atrophy thoroughly, and carefully understand the symptoms and manifestations of the late stage of the disease.

1. Typical presentation.

Cerebellar ataxia is a common manifestation of cerebellar atrophy, in which the center of gravity of the trunk is unstable when the patient walks, and gait disturbances occur as if drunk. When symptoms worsen, dysarthria develops, causing the patient to develop a poetic or explosive speech. If it is not timely**, it will lead to cognitive dysfunction, and in severe cases, forgetfulness or incoherent speech.

2. Accompanying performance.

Patients with cerebellar atrophy who have a longer onset of the disease may have mild symptoms of acute cerebral infarction, followed by headache, dizziness, tinnitus, and hemiplegia.

3. Manifestations of complications.

Bedsores are a common complication caused by cerebellar atrophy, which is mostly caused by patients staying in bed for a long time, resulting in compression of local tissues, and continuous ischemia or hypoxia, resulting in tissue ulceration and necrosis. Prompt medical attention should be sought** and the patient should be helped to turn over more.

It can be seen that cerebellar atrophy is extraordinary, and it is a degenerative disease, which can be given according to the actual situation of the patient, and it is necessary to take ** drugs for a long time if necessary. In addition, it is necessary to reduce unnecessary bumps, improve the quality of life, and be accompanied by family members when necessary, so as to avoid accidents and health hazards.

The late manifestations of cerebellar atrophy are the above knowledge, the disease is seriously damaged to the cerebellum, and will affect the memory of the brain, we should pay attention to brain health, after the onset of the disease, it is not advisable to delay the time of treatment, and actively seek medical treatment to control the development of the disease. During the recovery period, patients should rest more, actively cooperate with the work of **, and pay attention to dietary adjustments.

Patients with cerebellar atrophy often have very serious symptoms in the later stage, and there will be cerebellar dysfunction, which is mainly manifested by balance dysfunction and motor coordination dysfunction, and in the late stage, patients are often unable to stand up, and will fall to the side when they stand up, and patients need to be in a wheelchair for a long time.

In addition, some patients will have obvious muscle atrophy in the later stage of cerebellar atrophy, and his language function will also be affected, and he will not be able to speak clearly if he cannot control his pronunciation normally, and sometimes he will not be able to write.

Typical symptoms. 1.Unsteady gait, swaying, and falling: are the most common presenting symptoms, and patients with advanced stages may be unable to walk and need to stay in bed for long periods of time.

2.Dysarthria: Speech disorders that are slurred, such as difficulty pronouncing or distorting words.

3.Cognitive impairment: forgetfulness, disappointment, inability to understand others, advanced patients may not be able to take care of themselves.

Other symptoms. Some patients also experience dizziness, intention tremor, nystagmus, dystonia, parkinson-like symptoms, etc.

Syndrome. 1.Urinary tract infection: Because patients with spinocerebellar ataxia are often unable to take care of themselves in the later stages of the disease, there is a high risk of urinary tract infection if the family does not provide timely care.

2.Lung infection: In the later stage, the patient is bedridden for a long time, which can lead to lung infection if the patient chokes on food.

3.Dementia: Memory loss may occur later in life, with comprehension deteriorating until it disappears completely, leading to dementia.

Early symptoms. At first, symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, and dysarthria may occur.

Moderate to late stage symptoms.

Symptoms such as unsteady walking, easy falling, ataxia, intention tremor, and memory loss gradually appear.

Late symptoms. In the later stage, the patient gradually begins to live and cannot take care of himself, unable to walk, stand or even stay in bed, develop dementia, and even have symptoms such as inability to take care of himself.

Symptoms of late cerebellar atrophy. In the advanced stage of cerebellar atrophy, this symptom is coma. The brain doesn't work. Won't speak. Incontinence. Let you eat it, don't let you eat and don't know how to eat.

Analysis: Cerebellar atrophy will cause cerebellar dysfunction, which is mainly manifested as balance disorders and motor coordination disorders. In the advanced stages of cerebellar atrophy, the symptoms are more pronounced and can manifest in a variety of ways.

On the one hand, they show obvious motor impairment, unable to stand or sit up, and need to be in a wheelchair or bed for a long time. Therefore, there is no way to take care of oneself in life, which will gradually cause muscle atrophy of the limbs or stiffness of the joints. On the other hand, it will show language dysfunction, mainly because it cannot control the tone normally, show slurred speech, or write unrecognizable, and in severe cases, it will also show symptoms of dysphagia.

Other aspects can also manifest as symptoms of amnesia, mainly as a manifestation of distant forgetting, which can cause personality changes.

1. There will be ataxia gait, unsteady walking, ataxia dysarthria, incoherent speech, ataxia of limbs, nystagmus and so on.

2. If it reaches the advanced stage, there will be atrophy of other systems, such as the brainstem, cortex, etc., memory loss, cognitive impairment, and the prognosis of patients is often not good.

3. In the late stage, due to limited activities, it is necessary to stay in bed for a long time, if the nursing is not comprehensive enough, it is easy to be complicated by bedsores or lung infections, urinary system infections, venous thrombosis, etc., which can even be life-threatening.

4. In the nervous system, there can also be paralysis of the throat muscles, choking on drinking water, aspiration, or sleep apnea syndrome and so on.

In the advanced stage of cerebellar atrophy, patients will have loss of movement and cannot stand and walk, because the main function of the cerebellum is balance and regulation of body movements, and patients will have loss of motor function and loss of balance. The further development of cerebellar atrophy will also affect the brain tissue, so there will be signs of brain atrophy such as mental decline and memory loss. For patients with cerebellar atrophy, it is still necessary to be active**, and measures to prevent the formation of cerebellar atrophy are very important, and regular imaging examinations of the cerebellum and other brain tissues are necessary to help detect brain atrophy early, and do more actions that help balance the brain, which are better measures to prevent cerebellar atrophy.
