What are the symptoms of having cerebellar atrophy? How to regulate in daily life?

Cerebellar atrophy is irreversible, not only cerebellar atrophy, but also other atrophic lesions of the nervous system are irreversible, and the condition will gradually worsen with age. The function of the cerebellum is mainly responsible for balance, and the symptoms produced after cerebellar atrophy are mainly balance dysfunction, which is manifested as unsteady walking, swaying, waddling gait, and easy to fall.

The main symptoms of patients with cerebellar atrophy are:

1. Initial symptoms, dizziness when walking, inflexible action response, difficulty in lifting heavy objects, muscle stiffness, inability to accurately complete some specific actions (climbing, playing ball, etc.), body shaking back and forth when standing still, eye movement disorders, and inability to quickly transfer targets.

2. Medium-term symptoms, aggravation of muscle incoordination in the limbs, obvious symptoms of movement disorders, inability to control posture and gait, inability to maintain balance in the body, easy to fall, knotted tongue, unclear speech, difficulty in writing, easy to choke when eating or drinking.

3. Late stage symptoms, extremely unclear speech, even unable to speak, write, unrecognizable, dysphagia, unable to stand and need to rely on a wheelchair to walk or stay in bed, unable to take care of themselves, the patient's intelligence will be affected, and it is easy to be complicated with complications such as pneumonia.

The cerebellum is an important regulatory center for somatic movements, and its main function is to maintain body balance and coordinate voluntary movements. Patients with cerebellar atrophy will have symptoms such as unsteady gait, and in the late stage, they are prone to pneumonia, which threatens the patient's life.

The main symptoms of cerebellar atrophy are dizziness and ataxia. Dizziness is often episodic, with visual rotation and, in severe cases, nausea and vomiting. Ataxia is mainly a disturbance in the coordination of physical movements, manifested by unsteady walking, feet apart, widening of the base, and sometimes unsteadiness when holding things, such as the inability to accurately put food in the mouth when eating.

In addition, patients often have nystagmus, which is more common with horizontal line coarse nystagmus, and speech function is abnormal, often with poetic or explosive language.

For mild cerebellar atrophy disease, it can be regulated by low-sugar diet, appropriate intake of vitamins and fatty acid components, etc. For more severe cerebellar atrophy, it is necessary to rely on acupuncture, minimally invasive surgery or traditional Chinese medicine conditioning, so as to improve the patient's symptoms more effectively.

1. Low-sugar diet. Proper control of the intake of various sugary foods in daily life can well reduce the sensitivity of the nervous system, and will also have a certain effect on alleviating neurasthenia symptoms.

2. Vitamin supplementation. Vitamins themselves have strong antioxidant properties, which are good for delaying the aging of the body and better avoiding the atrophy and death of brain cells, so paying attention to more vitamin supplementation is also beneficial to alleviate the symptoms of cerebellar atrophy.

3. Supplement sufficient fatty acids. Fatty acids belong to one of the more important components of maintaining brain function, which can promote the function of brain cells in a relatively normal state, and can also further control and **cerebellar atrophy diseases.

The cerebellum is composed of the cerebellar vermis in the middle and the cerebellar hemispheres on both sides, and the cerebellum is mainly responsible for the balance of the human body. If the cerebellar vermis is quietly widened and atrophied, the balance function of the body may be affected, which can manifest as unsteady walking and easy falling. Atrophy of the cerebellar hemispheres may have a greater impact on the limbs and may have an effect on muscle tone, that is, cerebellar atrophy or cerebellar lesions may cause a decrease in muscle tone.

When sitting on a table with the legs vertically on the edge of the table without touching the ground, a normal person's calf will reach balance after 2-3 swings, while a person with cerebellar lesions may have to swing 5-6 times, and even repeated swings will not be able to achieve balance.

When a patient with cerebellar atrophy points to the nose with a finger, the finger does not point to the tip of the nose, which means that there is a problem with the coordination of movements. People with cerebellar atrophy may also have a language disorder, which is called poetic language, that is, the language may drag on for a long time, but it is ambiguous, just like the teacher in the past shook his head and his voice would drag on for a long time. In addition, patients with cerebellar lesions may also have difficulty standing with their eyes closed.

The physiological function of the cerebellum is mainly to maintain body balance and coordinate voluntary movements, and cerebellar atrophy is mainly manifested by ataxia, cerebellar dysarthria, eye movement disorders, hypotonia, non-motor manifestations, and cognitive and speech deficit speechless dysfunction.

What are the typical symptoms of cerebellar atrophy?

Ataxia: the main symptom of cerebellar atrophy, gait instability is the most common presenting symptom, manifested by drunkenness or scissor gait; Patients with advanced disease may not be able to walk and need to stay in bed for long periods of time.

Cranial nerve dysfunction: dizziness, forgetfulness, memory loss, dullness, slowness, tremor of the hands and feet.

Dysarthria: slurred speech, which can manifest as explosive speech or poetic speech.

Cognitive impairment: forgetfulness, loss; Inability to understand what others are saying; Patients with advanced disease may not be able to take care of themselves.

Nystagmus: The patient has a side-to-side movement of the eyeball.

The human brain is very important because the brain contains a lot of nervous tissue that regulates the whole body. In particular, the cerebellum and brainstem. If the brainstem is damaged, there is a high risk of paralysis, and if there is a problem with the cerebellum, it will cause an imbalance in the body, and the inability of the body to move due to a cerebellar problem is called cerebellar ataxia.

Cerebellar ataxia is generally divided into the following types: truncal ataxia, pancerebellar ataxia, limb coordination ataxia, etc., according to the type of ataxia, patients have different degrees of physical incoordination when performing daily activities. In the case of truncal ataxia, the patient usually has unsteady standing or sitting posture, is often unable to stand and sit upright, and often opens or closes the eyes indifferently.

This is because there is damage to the cerebellar vermis.

If you have limb coordination ataxia, the main symptom of the patient is imbalance in movement, such as not being able to complete the finger focus nose test smoothly and fluently, and it is also very difficult to judge the distance between objects. Relative disharmony is higher in the upper limbs than in the lower limbs, and co-ordination ataxia in the extremities is caused by damage to the cerebellar hemispheres. In the case of pancerebellar ataxia, the whole body is uncoordinated, whether it is a static movement or an active movement.

In summary, cerebellar ataxia is caused by damage to the cerebellum, which can be physical damage, such as collisions and impacts to the cerebellum, or chemical damage, such as heavy metals. Cerebellar ataxia is more complicated, and it is necessary to go to a regular hospital for examination** and actively cooperate with the doctor. In addition, the best ** is prevention, in order to prevent cerebellar ataxia, you should pay attention to protect your brain in daily life, and do not let the brain suffer heavy blows.

In addition, it is also advisable to do a good job in the prevention of some diseases, such as hypotension or thrombocytopenia, when the body has unexplained fever, especially the symptoms of fever in the brain, it should be paid attention to, and go to the hospital for examination in time, so that the head can not be in a hot state for too long, which will damage the brain. In addition, when taking antibiotic drugs, you should listen carefully to the doctor's advice and do not change the dosage at will. You should also eat more fresh green vegetables to stay away from heavy metal pollution.
