What is another word for Cerebellar Ataxia?
Pronunciation: [sˈɛɹɪbˌɛləɹ atˈe͡ɪksi͡ə] (IPA) 
Cerebellar ataxia refers to a condition characterized by the impairment of movement and coordination due to damage or degeneration of the cerebellum. Synonyms for cerebellar ataxia include spinocerebellar ataxia, hereditary ataxia, olivopontocerebellar atrophy, and non-hereditary ataxia. Spinocerebellar ataxia is a type of cerebellar ataxia that runs in families and is caused by genetic mutations. Hereditary ataxia, on the other hand, is also a genetic form of the disease but is not limited to the cerebellum. Olivopontocerebellar atrophy typically involves degeneration of several brain structures, including the cerebellum. Non-hereditary ataxia can occur due to various underlying conditions such as stroke, trauma, toxins, and infections.
