What are the symptoms of cerebellitis?

Patient's question:

Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which is greatly affecting my work efficiency. My friend recommended that I visit a neurology department. Could you please tell me what are the symptoms of cerebellitis?

Doctor's answer:

The characteristics of encephalitis include low fever below 40°C, twitching, confusion, severe limb pain, loss of superficial reflexes, continuously increasing muscle tension, prominent meningeal irritation signs and pyramidal signs, with a course of about 4-10 days. In severe cases during this period, death may occur due to respiratory and circulatory failure. For patients with encephalitis sequelae who have not fully recovered 6 months after recurrence, the incidence of sequelae varies (70 cases, including aphasia, epilepsy, mental disorders, dementia, limb flexion deformity, torticollis, etc.), and is more common.
