Cerebellar Ataxia

Cerebellar ataxia
Cerebellar ataxia is a disorder that is caused by the improper functioning of the cerebellum in the brain. The cerebellum is the part of the brain that controls and coordinates body movements.

Degeneration of the nervous system usually starts in the fourth or fifth decade of life with slowly developing dysarthria (difficulty speaking) and cerebellar ataxia (wobbliness) and later the progressive dementia become evident.

Children with neuroblastoma rarely present with paraneoplastic neurologic findings, including cerebellar ataxia or opsoclonus/myoclonus.[14] Neurologic dysfunction is most often a presenting symptom but may arise long after removal of the tumor.
