Cerebellar atrophy is a group of hereditary cerebellar abnormalities that gradually develop degenerative changes in the cerebellum. In addition to cerebellar dysfunction, cerebellar dysfunction may be associated with abnormalities of the spinal cord and peripheral nerves. Recently, the TV program 'Capturing the moments in this world' after the unfortunate accident, cerebellar ataxia was introduced to the story of a mother who cares for a daughter who is buried in bed by a rare disease.

Symptoms of cerebellar atrophy
Symptoms of cerebellar atrophy include tremor, staggering body stiffness without balancing the body, and trembling symptoms when trying to catch something. There are also speech disorders and blinking symptoms that can be disrupted. Cerebellar atrophy is often depressed because it breaks the brain that controls emotions. When cerebellar atrophy progresses, it becomes difficult to walk, and it becomes difficult to swallow, as well as to eat. As you lie down, you may die from pressure sores, pneumonia, or respiratory problems.

Causes of cerebellar atrophy
Cerebellar atrophy is a terrible disease, but the exact cause is unknown yet. It is presumed that cerebellar atrophy is the cause of the excessive formation of bad proteins in the brain, creating an environment that destroys cerebellum cells. Although cerebellar atrophy progresses rapidly, disease progression may increase depending on the disease management. Given this, it is important to recognize and manage the disease as soon as possible.

Treatment of cerebellar atrophy
Cerebellar atrophy is more important than accurate diagnosis. Through close examination and genetic testing, it is necessary to determine whether cerebellar atrophy is congenital or acquired. If acquired cerebellar atrophy, it can prevent symptom progression by removing the causative disease, and it can expect to recover the function. However, congenital cerebellar atrophy is usually known to be difficult to treat.
Complications of cerebellar atrophy
Depending on the type and cause of the disease, the course may vary, but usually tend to proceed without any obvious treatment. Complications include a fall due to ataxia, which can easily result in fractures and can not exercise, resulting in muscle atrophy or osteoporosis.
Living guide for cerebellar atrophy
It is important to maintain basic fitness with regular exercise. Just be careful not to get caught up in overweight and fall, so that you do not get a fracture. Dietary intake of vitamins and fruits rich in antioxidant vitamins and fruits may be beneficial.
