    Cerebellar ataxia, which is mainly manifested as unsteady walking, staggering and unable to walk, walking in a straight line or upright is like being drunk, and is called cerebellar ataxia, which is caused by cerebellar damage due to various reasons.

    Cerebellar ataxia is accompanied by other symptoms of cerebellar damage, such as nystagmus, eating, speech inhibition, motor coordination, uncoordinated movement of the hands and feet, a positive deadline test, decreased muscle tone in the limbs, and feeling weak.

    Cerebellar ataxia, also known as spinocerebellar atrophy, is a disease in which the patient's muscles are tense or reduced and voluntary movements are disturbed due to damage to the cerebellum for various reasons.

    Cerebellar ataxia is a syndrome characterized by cerebellar dysfunction due to a variety of causes. When infection, poisoning, brain tumors and other conditions occur, cerebellar ataxia can be caused, and infectious diseases are more common. In general, patients with cerebellar ataxia are mainly manifested by unsteady walking, limb tremor, slurred speech, abnormal posture, inability to complete fine motor skills, low muscle tone, clumsy movements, and difficulty in writing.

    On **, if it is caused by infection, the main anti-infection ** is adopted. If it is tremor, it can be treated symptomatically with drugs. The disease lacks a specific effect**, and drugs such as idebenone and butylphthalide can be used to reduce symptoms.

    It can also be used with traditional Chinese medicine for syndrome differentiation and treatment, and the effect is relatively good. **It is mainly to nourish the kidneys and strengthen the brain, nourish the blood and dispel wind. It can also be combined with acupuncture massage.

    Patients with cerebellar ataxia often have a wobbly walking posture, and are even likely to have frequent falls that cause fractures and intracranial hematomas. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to the safety of the patient and do not leave the patient alone or walk around the road by himself, otherwise there may be some unpredictable dangers.

    There are three causes of cerebellar ataxia. First of all, it is congenital inheritance and basically cannot be **. Second, acquired physical or chemical factors lead to brain tissue damage, cerebellar nerve atrophy, and necrosis.

    Drugs that nourish the nerves or improve microcirculation may be used. Third, cerebellar injuries due to trauma can be performed through neurosurgery** to promote the recovery of cerebellar function. Cerebellar ataxia is mainly caused by cerebellar lesions, cerebellar vermis lesions appear trunk ataxia, cerebellar hemisphere lesions manifest limb ataxia, mostly accompanied by nystagmus, hypotonia, slurred speech and other cerebellar symptoms, but closed eyes or dark environment do not aggravate the symptoms of ataxia.

    1. Don't be too particular about the diet of ataxia, it is a natural food form. Don't over-process it, and add as little food as possible. 2. The diet of ataxia patients should also be light, avoid being too salty, and do not eat pickles.

    3. The diet should be low in salt, sugar and fat, and the diet with cerebellar atrophy should be nutritionally balanced, and not overeating.

    Cerebellar ataxia is a lesion of the cerebellum that often presents with unsteady standing, widened gait, and swaying from side to side, also known as a drunken gait. Limb ataxia and inflammation are minimal or inconspicuous, often seen in tumors of the cerebellar vermis. When one cerebellar hemisphere is affected, the patient presents with ipsilateral limb ataxia, that is, the finger-nose test or the rotation test is inaccurate, and the patient may have hypotonia, loss of tendon reflexes, and sometimes pendulum-like tendon reflexes.

    Patients with lesions of the cerebellar hemispheres may have nystagmus and cerebellar speech at the same time. In general, the symptoms of cerebellar ataxia are more obvious, and some patients with this disease will cause changes in walking posture and gait, and may also cause unsteady walking or unsteady standing. Patients may not be able to perform fine movements properly, and may also experience tremors in the upper limbs.

    After the diagnosis of cerebellar ataxia, it is mainly carried out for **.

    The accurate completion of any movement requires the close coordination of different muscles, and ataxia is the body's lack of muscle control or the ability to coordinate voluntary movements. The cerebellum plays an important role in the regulation of fine motor and voluntary movements, so the most typical symptom of cerebellar and associated fibrous lesions is cerebellar ataxia.

    What are the types of cerebellar ataxia?

    Acquired cerebellar ataxia: a condition in which cerebellar ataxia is progressively worsened due to environment, drugs, reading materials, infections, immunity, tumors, congenital malformations, etc.

    vascular cerebellar ataxia;

    hypothyroidism, cerebellar ataxia;

    drug- and toxin-induced cerebellar ataxia;

    infectious cerebellar ataxia;

    immune or neoplastic cerebellar ataxia;

    Hereditary spinocerebellar ataxia.

    How does cerebellar ataxia appear?

    The cerebellum is a brain region under the cerebral cortex that is interconnected with the cerebral cortex, which has a large number of connections with the cerebral cortex and spinal cord, and plays an important role in maintaining body balance, regulating muscle tension, and forming and coordinating voluntary movements.

    If the cerebellum itself or the structures associated with other parts are destroyed, the normal coordination of movements, the regulation of muscle tension, and voluntary movements cannot be carried out normally, so the patient shows symptoms of cerebellar ataxia such as unsteady standing and abnormal gait.

    Cerebellar ataxia is a group of disorders of voluntary movements caused by degeneration of brain tissue dominated by the cerebellum. The disease is hereditary and occurs more often than in adulthood. The main manifestations are ataxia of the limbs, mostly heavier in the lower limbs, nystagmus and poetic speech.

    Clinically it can be divided into 3 types: no family history, only cerebellar involvement, no intention tremor, may be cerebellar cortical ataxia; If there is significant intention tremor, nystagmus, and late onset of dysphagia, it may be olive, pontine, cerebellar ataxia; Cerebellar dentate nucleus ataxia may be present if cerebellar ataxia is present with significant intention tremor, and lower extremity ataxia is mild or convulsive and myoclonus. Physostigmine can be used as a trial.

    Cerebellar ataxia is mainly manifested as ataxia of the trunk and ataxia of the limbs, as follows: 1. Ataxia of the trunk: mainly manifested as lesions of the cerebellar vermis, the patient will have symptoms of unsteady walking, manifested as deviation to one side or swaying walking, in a drunken posture.

    2. Ataxia of limbs: the main manifestations are that patients will have inaccurate holding or unstable holding of things, and there will be tremors of limbs, and patients will have dizziness. Generally, small ataxia is mainly seen in cerebellar vascular diseases, such as acute cerebral infarction or cerebral hemorrhage, and also in cerebellar tumors, such as primary tumors or secondary metastases, as well as inflammation of the cerebellum and brainstem, which may cause ataxia.

    Cerebellar ataxia is characterized by cerebellar atrophy and involvement of its nerve pathways, accompanied by varying degrees of sensory and motor system impairment. Patients often have symptoms such as unsteadiness, inability to stand, or falls after standing.

    Cerebellar ataxia is hereditary and usually occurs in adults. Patients should cook more rain and combine work and rest every day to avoid overwork, but also eat lightly and exercise appropriately.

    Cerebellar ataxia is caused by lesions of the cerebellum itself or neurostructures related to the cerebellum, which are mainly manifested by abnormal posture and gait, and impaired coordination of movements. It can be accompanied by hypotonia, eye movement disorders and speech disorders, etc., and needs to be carried out according to **.

    Nowadays, our imaging is very advanced, and there are unsteady movements, walking off the side, walking with one foot extended, or not being able to stand normally, or standing with the eyes closed, and falling. These conditions are called ataxia.

    Cerebellar ataxia, also known as spinocerebellar atrophy, abbreviated as SCA, is a familial dominant neurological disease, as long as one of the parents of the disease is affected, the children will have a 50% chance of inheriting the disease. After the onset of the disease, these patients walk swayingly, like penguins, so they are called the penguin family.
