Cerebellar ataxia
MONDO:0000437A neurological syndrome characterized by clumsy and uncoordinated movement of the limbs, trunk, and cranial muscles. It results from pathology in the cerebellum and its connections, or in the proprioceptive sensory pathways.
Also known as: ataxia syndrome, cerebellar ataxias, spinocerebellar ataxia, spinocerebellar degeneration, ataxia, ataxia, cerebellar, ataxias, cerebellar, cerebellar dysmetria
