Acute cerebellar ataxia (ACA) is a disorder that occurs when the cerebellum becomes inflamed or damaged. The cerebellum is the area of the brain responsible for controlling gait and muscle ...

Acute cerebellar ataxia is quite common following a viral infection; Varicella Zoster virus, Mumps virus and Epstein-Barr virus being the common culprits. Cerebellar ataxia following dengue fever ...

Ataxia is a condition caused by damage in cerebellum, a part of the brain, that leads to poor muscle control affecting movement. In an interview with HT Lifestyle, Dr Aniruddha More, consultant ...

Ataxia causes loss of muscle control and balance in multiple sclerosis, with tremors, unsteady walking, slurred speech, and vertigo. Find out how you can treat ataxia with MS, including physical ...

In 18% of patients (n=35/197), stroke caused limb ataxia. To the surprise of the researchers, less than half (46%) of these patients' stroke lesions intersected the cerebellum or cerebellar peduncles.

As a stand-alone condition, "ataxia is a degenerative disease of the nervous system," explains Andrew Rosen, chief executive officer of the National Ataxia Foundation.

Ataxia usually results from damage to the cerebellum, causing poor muscle control. Many things can cause it, including genetics, stroke, MS, alcohol use and more.

However, the researchers reported that lesions causing acute limb ataxia were connected to a common network centered on the intermediate zone cerebellum and cerebellar peduncles (lesion ...

A 64 year-old man presented with nausea, vomiting and right sided ataxia. CT scan showed a right cerebellar stroke. Two days later he abruptly deteriorated, and became obtunded with decerebrate ...

Beginning last fall, researchers re-analyzed raw data from two previous studies — conducted in 2010 and 2013 — assessing motor learning in people with severe cerebellar ataxia, a condition ...

A study investigated the origin of ataxia in the brain of patients with stroke. A significant number of the stroke lesions in the patients were located outside the cerebellum.
