cerebellar disorders
Cerebellar disorders are conditions that affect the cerebellum, a part of the brain responsible for coordination, balance, and fine motor skills. These disorders can result from various causes, including genetic factors, stroke, tumors, or degenerative diseases. Symptoms may include difficulty with balance, unsteady movements, and problems with coordination.
Common types of cerebellar disorders include cerebellar ataxia, which leads to uncoordinated movements, and cerebellar degeneration, where the cerebellum gradually loses function. Diagnosis typically involves neurological examinations, imaging tests, and sometimes genetic testing. Treatment options may include physical therapy, medications, or addressing the underlying cause.
