Can cerebellar atrophy turn into Alzheimer s?

Cerebellar atrophy has different consequences depending on the situation. If it is normal cerebellar atrophy, it is due to the reduction of brain volume and brain weight with age, which is normal aging and generally does not cause Alzheimer's disease. Senile dementia occurs when the patient has a degenerative disease with significant atrophy of the brain and cerebellum, temporal lobe, and whole brain.

People who drink a lot of alcohol for a long time will have senile brain atrophy aggravated, and senile dementia will appear early.

Patients with cerebellar atrophy disease, although there will be certain memory loss and intellectual disability after the disease, but can not be associated with cerebellar atrophy disease and Alzheimer's disease, Alzheimer's disease is only a disease of the nervous system, and cerebellar atrophy disease will affect the patient's body coordination to a large extent, but when patients with cerebellar atrophy disease have been ill for a period of time, it may cause patients to have Alzheimer's disease, which is beyond doubt.

If it is not stopped in the later stage, the disease will develop.

Cerebellar atrophy is not Alzheimer's disease, cerebellar atrophy refers to the atrophy of the cerebellum. The main function of the cerebellum is to manage the coordination and balance function of the human body, and people with cerebellar atrophy walk unsteadily and have uncoordinated movements, mainly in this regard, and all aspects of memory and intelligence are normal.

Alzheimer's disease mainly refers to brain atrophy, and patients will show decreased memory, concentration, calculation, reasoning, judgment, and daily living ability. Some patients have psychiatric symptoms, such as hallucinations, as well as anxiety, depression, and sleep disturbances. Therefore, cerebellar atrophy and Alzheimer's disease are two completely different concepts, and cerebellar atrophy must be seen in the neurology department of a regular hospital.

Precautions: First, patients with cerebellar atrophy are generally accompanied by ataxia, and patients may have clinical manifestations such as unsteady standing and unsteady walking. In the second case, this kind of patient must not drink alcohol at ordinary times, alcohol has a definite damaging effect on the cerebellum, and patients with alcohol poisoning will also have cerebellar atrophy and cerebellar ataxia; Third, you can usually eat more foods rich in B vitamins, eat more whole grains, and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. In addition, it is important to pay attention to finding out what the cause of cerebellar atrophy is.

Cerebellar atrophy and Alzheimer's disease are often thought of by ordinary people as the same disease, but in fact cerebellar atrophy and Alzheimer's disease are not the same. Alzheimer's disease is a more insidious developmental neurological disease, while cerebellar atrophy is a chronic progressive brain disease, and the two are quite different in many aspects and should be distinguished.

Alzheimer's disease and cerebellar atrophy are both degenerative diseases of the human body, and they are extremely similar in some manifestations. Patients with Alzheimer's disease and cerebellar atrophy will have symptoms such as slurred speech, decreased muscle strength, and weakened social ability during the course of the disease.

Due to the lack of in-depth understanding of the two diseases, many people think that cerebellar atrophy is Alzheimer's disease, but this perception is wrong.

The differences between cerebellar atrophy and Alzheimer's disease are mainly as follows:

1. The difference between clinical symptoms.

Cerebellar atrophy is a sign in the aging process, and patients often have slurred speech, decreased muscle strength, emotional disorders, and poor comprehension. Alzheimer's disease is a neurological disorder in which patients lose their ability to think, judge, remember, and understand. Therefore, Alzheimer's patients are usually unable to control themselves at the onset of the disease, and their social capacity is in a state of complete loss; Although patients with cerebellar atrophy have degraded in both behavioral and thinking abilities, their self-control ability still exists, and their ability to analyze and judge is still good, and the clinical symptoms at the onset of the two are quite different in the embodiment of social ability.

2. The difference in terms of **.

There are many reasons for cerebellar atrophy in the body, such as cerebral insufficiency, infection, drug abuse, genetics, and congenital developmental abnormalities, which can lead to cerebellar atrophy, and the leading causes of Alzheimer's disease include family genetic factors, head trauma factors, viral infections, major blows in life and other psychosocial factors. In terms of **, cerebellar atrophy and Alzheimer's disease are quite different.

3. The age of high incidence of the disease is different.

Cerebellar atrophy occurs at roughly equal age and can occur at any age, whereas Alzheimer's disease occurs mainly in the elderly over 70 years of age.

Cerebellar atrophy and dementia are not the same thing, and they are quite different in many ways.

Unfortunately, current medical technologies are difficult to reverse the progression of cerebellar atrophy and Alzheimer's disease. Therefore, whether it is cerebellar atrophy or Alzheimer's disease, patients should seek medical attention in time after they develop relevant symptoms to prevent further development of the disease and prevent more serious consequences.

Cerebellar atrophy does not cause cognitive dysfunction and does not cause dementia. Alzheimer's disease is mainly Alzheimer's disease, the onset is relatively insidious, usually the frontal and temporal lobe atrophy, patients will have cognitive decline, mental decline, personality, behavior will change, some patients will also have neurological and psychiatric symptoms. The occurrence of cerebellar atrophy is related to degenerative diseases, ischemia, hypoxia, toxicity, metabolism, inflammation and other diseases.

The main manifestation of cerebellar atrophy is ataxia, in which the patient will have unsteady walking, a broad-shouldered gait, and the patient will have difficulty in standing with his eyes closed. In severe cases, patients will lose the ability to take care of themselves, and the patient's dysarthria, which is mainly manifested as poetic language. Patients with cerebellar atrophy may see eye tremor, mostly coarse tremor, and motor impairment of speech and cognitive function.

Cerebellar atrophy and dementia are two completely different types of diseases, and the clinical symptoms of patients with cerebellar atrophy are mainly ataxia. For example, if you are unsteady when you walk or hold something with your hands, you may have clinical symptoms such as nystagmus and cerebellar language. Usually diseases include some multiple system atrophy, hereditary cerebellar supply disorders, etc., which do not affect the cognitive level of patients.

Alzheimer's disease is usually seen in the elderly, and the most common disease of patients is caused by Alzheimer's disease, which is characterized by a significant decline in memory function, some visual and spatial dysfunctions, such as the phenomenon of getting lost, personality changes, and mental symptoms.
