Due to infections, vaccination practices, haemorrhages in the cerebellum, stroke, vitamin deficiencies, etc., cerebellitis is responsible for disorders such as: unstable gait, lack of coordination between the movements of the trunk and those of the limbs, tendency to stumble, nystagmus, dysarthria, nausea, vomiting, headache, tremors and dizziness. Furthermore, in severe cases, it can lead to complications, the outcome of which is sometimes fatal for the patient.
The diagnosis of cerebellitis is based on: an in-depth symptom analysis, medical history, neurological evaluation, blood and urine tests, brain-related radiological tests, nerve conduction studies, electromyography, and spinal taps.
Cerebellitis mainly requires a causal treatment, that is, a therapy aimed at eliminating the triggering cause.
