What is Cerebellar Ataxia?
Cerebellar Ataxia is a name for a disorder of the nervous system that causes a range of mobility problems and a lack of co-ordination and balance and often causes problems with talking, eye movement and being able to swallow. Its name comes from the word cerebellum, the part of the brain that controls balance and co-ordination.
There are genetic forms of the disease. In addition, some cerebellar ataxia can be caused by brain injury, viral infections or tumour.
