Cerebellar atrophy is very common in clinic:
A. cerebellar ataxia. Generally related to heredity, patients are advised to do rehabilitation training skills to delay the progress of cerebellar atrophy. Rehabilitation needs a long-term treatment, so that patients can do some balance training, such as playing table tennis and dancing square dance.
Second, small encephalopathy disease. Some neurodegenerative diseases may accumulate in the cerebellum, leading to cerebellar atrophy. Clinically, the atrophy of extrapyramidal system, brain stem, cerebellar system and autonomic nervous system is more common. The important feature is that patients often have unstable walking, poor balance, unclear speech, heavy nasal sound, and light cough when eating and drinking water. Some drugs for treating Parkinson's disease or drugs for repairing nerves can be used clinically, and some patients can get short-term relief and control, but they can't be cured.
Symptoms of cerebellar atrophy:
The symptoms of this disease are similar to those of other diseases, but there are also many differences. The main initial symptoms are dizziness, uncoordinated limbs and forgetfulness.
Initial symptoms:
1, walking like drunk (dizzy).
2. The action response is not flexible, and the fluency of the action is lost, making it difficult to lift objects.
3, the stairs and legs are not harmonious, the muscles are stiff, and some actions cannot be accurately completed, such as running and climbing.
4. When resting, the body will shake back and forth; It's easy to touch the wall or door frame when walking.
5. The eyeball rotates with the obstacle, and the target cannot be transferred quickly.
6, lose the ability to distinguish distance.
Suggestions on preventing cerebellar atrophy;
Cerebellar atrophy is common in the elderly, so prevention is mainly aimed at this group of people, and improving the activity of brain cells is the foundation of prevention.
Drug conditioning and anti-aging: For people over 50 years old, especially those with a family history of brain atrophy, it is necessary to choose anti-aging drugs at the age of 50 to improve the aging of brain cells.
Early prevention of etiology and elimination of pathogenic factors: such as actively preventing cerebrovascular diseases and preventing or delaying the occurrence of cerebral arteriosclerosis as much as possible; It is necessary to prevent the occurrence of brain infectious diseases and treat people who already have brain diseases; Avoid excessive use of brain tissue for a long time; Prevent alcoholism and excessive drinking, and effectively prevent the occurrence of reversible brain atrophy. Brain tissue damage caused by trauma should be treated promptly and effectively.
