Patient's question:
What is the effect of alcohol on the fetal brain and cerebellum? Because I had to have a baby without quitting drinking at the timeDoctor's answer:
Treatment Guidance: The general causes or factors leading to cerebellar atrophy are often genetic factors, traumatic brain injury, cerebral infarction, encephalitis and meningitis, cerebral ischemia, hypoxia, vascular malformations, brain tumors, stroke, long-term recurrent epilepsy, excessive smoking and drinking, malnutrition, thyroid dysfunction, cerebral arteriosclerosis, carbon monoxide poisoning, and alcohol poisoning. These factors can lead to the destruction of brain tissue and the atrophy, deformation, and disappearance of nerve cells. Among these, the main pathogenic factor is long-term chronic cerebral ischemia. Cerebellar atrophy primarily occurs in the elderly. If a child is diagnosed with this disease, it is recommended to seek timely diagnosis and treatment at a regular hospital.
