Cerebellar Atrophy

Presentation

Late cortical cerebellar atrophy (LCCA) is a neurodegenerative disease which presents with slowly progressive cerebellar ataxia as a prominent symptom and is characterized neuropathologically by a limited main lesion to the cerebellar cortex and inferior [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Workup

MR

  • MRI Scan showing Cerebellar Atrophy

    Neurological examination showed moderate to severe weakness in distal muscles of all extremities, marked cerebellar sign and steppage gait. Muscle biopsy resulted in myopathic changes with rimmed vacuoles. Brain MRI scan showed cerebellar atrophy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment

CONCLUSION: The transplantation of in vitro cultured neural stem cell is a feasible and effective treatment for inherited CA, but the long term effectiveness need to be taken in consideration. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment Treatment Options: No treatment has been reported. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

Prognosis

Cerebellar Atrophy Prognosis Atrophy of any tissue means loss of cells. In brain tissue, atrophy describes a loss of neurons and the connections between them. [topclassactions.com]

Prognosis The long-term outlook for people with cerebellar degeneration varies depending on its underlying cause. x Prognosis The long-term outlook for people with cerebellar degeneration varies depending on its underlying cause. [ninds.nih.gov]

Etiology

Etiology The exact etiology of MSC-c is unknown while the presence of cytoplasmic aggregates of α-synuclein, primarily in the oligodendroglia, in combination with predominant neurodegeneration of the olivopontocerebellar structures are pathological hallmark [orpha.net]

Etiology Diffuse atrophy can result from a variety of causes: normal aging alcoholic cerebellar degeneration drugs, e.g. phenytoin cerebellar degeneration chronic temporal lobe epilepsy (independently from phenytoin use) 7 cerebellitis multisystem atrophy [radiopaedia.org]

CCA was defined as an SCA of unknown etiology with imaging evidence of isolated cerebellar atrophy. [movementdisorders.org]

Except for JCV infection, no other etiology was found to explain cerebellar disorders. [jcm.asm.org]

Prevention

Early diagnosis of NBD helps to initiate appropriate treatment, thereby modulating the course of the disease and preventing complications. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The aim is to treat the symptoms and prevent complications. [medlineplus.gov]

It helps prevent seizures that affect the entire brain (tonic-clonic seizures) as well as seizures that affect only one half or part of the brain (partial seizures). It is often used to prevent seizures during and after brain surgeries. [topclassactions.com]
