Three patients presented with cerebellar ataxia among 350 cases of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) seen over the last 14 years. Cerebellar signs were unilateral in one and bilateral in the other two patients. Other neurological findings were present in all three patients. One initially presented with only cerebellar ataxia; other features of SLE appeared a few years later. Lupus anticoagulan...

Background and Purpose: We performed this multicenter study to explore the full spectrum of the clinical characteristics and neuroimaging findings of cerebellar infarction, including patients with mild to severe illnesses. Methods: We studied 293 consecutive patients with cerebellar infarction diagnosed by computed tomography and/or magnetic resonance imaging who were admitted to 36 hospitals d...

Cerebellar toxicity is a known potential adverse effect of high-dose cytarabine chemotherapy. Oncology nurses are expected to assess patients receiving high-dose cytarabine for cerebellar toxicity prior to administering each dose. Information regarding cerebellar assessment techniques and documentation of findings is limited in the nursing literature. This article provides nurses with a standar...

MR imaging findings are described in four patients with cerebellar cortical dysplasia. Typically, cerebellar disorganized folia were seen as an irregular bumpy gray-white matter interface. In addition, cystlike cortical abnormalities were observed in two patients and associated supratentorial developmental abnormalities were seen in three patients. To our knowledge, cerebellar cortical dysplasi...

= Abstract = This is to report clinical and radiological findings in 7 patients with selective cerebellar degeneration following ,B-fluoroethyl acetate intoxication. ,B-Fluoroethyl acetate, an ethyl ester of fluoroacetate which is a metabolic inhibitor of Krebs cycle is used as a rodenticide. Following initial stage of coma from intoxication, the patients woke up to show selective cerebellar dy...

Comparison of two seemingly quite different behaviors yields a surprisingly consistent picture of the role of the cerebellum in motor learning. Behavioral and physiological data about classical conditioning of the eyelid response and motor learning in the vestibuloocular reflex suggest that (i) plasticity is distributed between the cerebellar cortex and the deep cerebellar nuclei; (ii) the cere...

Brain balance changes have been recognised in migraine, but cerebellar function between or during attacks has been assessed only in a few studies. Previous studies have indicated that migraine affects cerebellar function. In the present study we aimed to evaluate the hemicerebellar volume changes of patients with migraine without aura (MWoA). Volumetric changes of cerebellar hemispheres were ev...

INTRODUCTION The diagnosis of Cerebellar Cognitive Affective Syndrome should be considered in patients with cerebellar lesions who also suffer cognitive deficits associated with visuospatial or executive neuropsychological disorders, expressive language disorders and affective disorders. CLINICAL CASE A 16 year old adolescent diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder at the age ...

The cerebellar glucose metabolism of multiple system atrophy with predominant cerebellar ataxia (MSA-C) is known to be decreased but is not defined among areas of cerebellum. We encountered a 54-year-old man who developed dizziness and progressive ataxia followed by urinary incontinence and orthostatic hypotension, all of those symptoms progressed relentlessly and the symptoms responded poorly ...

Background and objective: Drug craving is considered to be a major problem in addiction treatment. Neuroimaging research has revealed various areas for drug craving, among which two key areas are the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and the cerebellum. The DLPFC is involved in different cognitive tasks like the inhibitory control over seductive options harboring the promise of immediate r...
