Patient's question:
My father has been dizzy and unsteady on his feet for the past year, but he didn't feel too bad back then, so he didn't go to the hospital. This year, he feels even worse. He went to the hospital for a thorough examination to determine the cause of his ataxia, which couldn't be explained. The magnetic resonance imaging of his brain showed no abnormalities.Doctor's answer:
The cerebellum not only transmits proprioceptive pulses but also transmits external, sensory, visual, and visceral pulses. Therefore, the cerebellum not only interferes with activity but also interferes with sensory and diencephalic functions. Thus, the main manifestation of cerebellar inflammation is cerebellar ataxia, characterized by leaning forward or swaying left and right when standing, unstable trunk movement when sitting, and an inability to walk in a straight line. If you turn left or right, you will feel drunk.
