cerebellar infarcts
Cerebellar infarcts occur when blood flow to the cerebellum, a part of the brain responsible for coordination and balance, is blocked. This blockage can result from a blood clot or narrowed blood vessels, leading to tissue damage and loss of function in the affected area. Symptoms may include dizziness, difficulty walking, and problems with coordination.
Diagnosis typically involves imaging techniques like MRI or CT scans to visualize the brain and identify the infarct. Treatment may include medications to dissolve clots or manage risk factors, such as high blood pressure or diabetes, to prevent future strokes.
