Truncal ataxia (or trunk ataxia) is a wide-based "drunken sailor" gait characterized by uncertain starts and stops, lateral deviations and unequal steps. It is an instability of the trunk and often seen during sitting. [2] . It is most visible when shifting position or walking heel-to-toe. [1]

2024年1月30日 · Ataxia describes poor muscle control that causes clumsy movements. It can affect walking and balance, hand coordination, speech and swallowing, and eye movements. Ataxia usually results from damage to the part of the brain called the cerebellum or its connections. The cerebellum controls muscle coordination.

Lesions in the cerebellar hemisphere produce limb (appendicular) ataxia. Lesions of the vermis cause truncal and gait ataxia with limbs relatively spared. Vestibulocerebellar lesions cause disequilibrium, vertigo, and gait ataxia.

We propose that dysgeusia in acute-onset ataxia cases may constitute an important clinical feature to aid in the diagnosis of the incomplete form of MFS. Keywords: dysgeusia, taste impairment, ataxia, Miller Fisher syndrome, GQ1b, differential diagnosis.

2024年8月5日 · Here we set out to briefly describe the clinical/anatomic correlates of cerebellar disease, to provide a broad differential diagnosis for patients who present with cerebellar ataxia, and to provide a methodologic approach to the evaluation of patients with cerebellar signs.

2024年4月18日 · Telangiectasias are spider veins, or broken blood vessels that look like fine red or pink lines near the surface of your skin. One symptom of ataxia-telangiectasia is these red lines in the...

2023年2月23日 · Ataxia is impaired coordination in the absence of weakness. Acute ataxia is a neurological emergency, and vascular lesions of the cerebellum (infarction, hemorrhage) must be considered/ excluded. Acute onset (minutes/ hours) Subacute ataxia (hours/days) — Postinfectious encephalomyelitis, especially varicella. Hereditary. [cite]

Truncal ataxia is a sign of ataxia characterized by instability of the trunk. It usually occurs during sitting. [from HPO] Dandy-Walker malformation (DWM) is defined by hypoplasia and upward rotation of the cerebellar vermis and cystic dilation of the fourth ventricle.

2016年8月8日 · Truncal ataxia was measured by independent observers as grade 1, mild to moderate imbalance with walking independently; grade 2, severe imbalance with standing, but cannot walk without support; and grade 3, falling at upright posture.
