Symptoms and manifestations of cerebellar atrophy

Cerebellar atrophy is divided into two conditions, one is physiological and the other is pathological. Physiological cerebellar atrophy is an age-related aging change, often mild, so there are no clinical symptoms. Pathological cerebellar atrophy is a degenerative disease, the cause is unknown. The function of cerebellum is mainly in charge of balance, so the main clinical manifestation after cerebellar atrophy is balance dysfunction, manifested as unstable walking, a kind of staggering gait, easy to fall, late patients often can not walk, can only lie in bed. In addition to walking badly, it can also be manifested as brain dysfunction, including dizziness, amnesia, memory loss, slow reaction, tremor of hands and feet, and can also be manifested as dysarthria, such as unclear articulation, explosive language or speech loss, memory is not good, often lost, unable to understand the meaning of others, and unable to accurately express their own ideas. Pathological cerebellar atrophy, once diagnosed, progresses with age. There is no cure at this stage, only symptomatic treatment.
