Impression:-Significant atrophy of the superior vermis with mild atrophy of cerebellar hemispheres.
Finding are most likely due to neuro degeneration.


Request you to please breif me in detail with all disadvantages. Is this desease is called cerebellar disorder or
cerebellar palsy? please give your valuable advice.



Please try to give me the above details asap.

Regds,
-just my personal, non-medical thoughts for you: could it be an indication of cerebellar ataxia? Have you been clinically examined by a neurologist? Do you have progressive, degenerating symptoms that fall in the coordination/balance/speech areas? Simple neuro tests that hone in on fine motor skills, etc. may help in narrowing down -- such as finger-nose, walking, palm flip, reflex testing, etc.

Good luck to you in your research efforts.
