Background: The cerebellum is the most important portion of the brain, which audits our acts and establishes balance. Symptoms from a cerebellar stroke happen suddenly. In addition to specific cerebellar signs and symptoms, other common symptoms of a cerebral stroke include dizziness, headache, nausea, vomiting, double vision, tremor, and vertigo. These symptoms can be confused with other situa...

introduction: purkinje cell (pc) output displays a complex firing pattern consisting of high frequency sodium spikes and low frequency calcium spikes, and disruption in this firing behavior may contribute to cerebellar ataxia. riluzole, neuroprotective agent, has been demonstrated to have neuroprotective effects in cerebellar ataxia. here, the spectral analysis of pcs firing in control, 3-acety...

central nervous system ranks among the favorite sites to get involved by nocardia astroides. this opportunistic organism complicates many disorders characterized by cellular or humoral immunity disturbances.a 36-year-old woman is being presented, known to have systemic lupus erythematosus (sle) and having received a two year course of corticosteroid treatment. cerebellar abscess was found on di...

objective(s): the present study aims at examining the motor coordination performance, serum and cerebellar estrogen, as well as erβ levels, of ovariectomized rats (as menopausal model) following regular exercise. materials and methods:ten female sprague dawley ratsaged 12 weeks old were randomly divided into two groups; all of which underwent ovariectomy. the first group was treated with regula...

Lhermitte - Duclos disease also called dysplastic gangliocytoma of cerebellum is an extremely rare cerebellar lesion which share features of both malformation and neoplasm. The usual presentation is of raised intracranial pressure along with cerebellar signs. We report a case of 23 year male who presented with headache & diplopia. MRI was suggestive of the diagnosis. Subtotal excision of th...

Introduction: Loss of inhibitory output from Purkinje cells leads to hyperexcitability of the Deep Cerebellar Nuclei (DCN), which results in cerebellar ataxia. Also, inhibition of small-conductancecalcium-activated potassium (SK) channel increases firing rate  f DCN, which could cause cerebellar ataxia. Therefore, SK channel activators can be effective in reducing the symptoms of this disease, ...

Posttraumatic cerebral infarction is a rare complication and is an indicator of poor clinical outcome of head-trauma in spite of appropriate medical and surgical interventions. Cerebellar infarction following head trauma is also very rare and only a few reported cases are available in literatures. A 2-year-old child sustained head injury in a car accident and underwent surgery because of cerebr...
