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]
We report a case of cerebral atrophy with marked cerebellar atrophy in a 20-year-old woman with anorexia nervosa admitted to our hospital for severe weightloss.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
This very rare blood disorder results in mild cyanosis, profound mental and motor impairment, and movement disorders in infancy and childhood.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The clinical features common to the 16 males included profound mental retardation (100%), mutism despite apparently normalhearing (100%), grand mal epilepsy (87.5%), and limited life expectancy (68.8%).[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Infantile neuroaxonal dystrophy (INAD) is a rare neurodegenerative disorder characterized by infantile onset and rapid progression of psychomotorregression and hypotonia evolving into spasticity.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
RESULTS: Twenty-seven patients showed larger posturalinstability in all experimental conditions. Postural sway increased with nystagmus in the eyes closed condition but not with the eyes open.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
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]
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]

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