In health, it provides corrections during motion which are the basis for precision and accuracy, and it is critically involved in motor learning and reflex modification. Disease of the cerebellum or its connections leads to incoordination. The study puts forth the morphometric study of cerebellum cortex and of the modifications t...

متن کاملCerebellar atrophy in epileptic patients.
High-resolution CT scans of the brain and posterior fossa were performed on 106 phenytoin (PHT)-treated epileptics, 28 de novo epileptics and 43 control subjects. A higher incidence of cerebellar and brainstem (CBS) atrophy was observed in chronic PHT- or PHT+ phenobarbital-treated epileptics compared to the two other groups. Some control subjects and de novo epileptics presented mild CBS atrop...
متن کاملPathological laughter and crying in patients with multiple system atrophy-cerebellar type.
In the cerebellar type of multiple system atrophy (MSA-C), the burden of pathological changes involves the cerebellum and its associated brainstem structures in the basis pontis and the inferior olivary nucleus, and as a result, the clinical phenotype is dominated early on by the cerebellar dysfunction. We report our clinical and post mortem findings in a patient with MSA-C who exhibited pathol...
