Spinocerebellar degeneration refers to a group of inherited disorders that primarily affect the cerebellum, the part of the brain responsible for coordination and balance. This condition leads to the progressive degeneration of nerve cells, resulting in symptoms such as unsteady gait, difficulty with fine motor skills, and problems with balance. The degeneration typically occurs over time, and symptoms can vary depending on the specific type of spinocerebellar degeneration. Diagnosis often involves genetic testing and neurological examinations. While there is currently no cure, management focuses on alleviating symptoms and improving quality of life through physical therapy and supportive care.
