Question 1

what sort of disease is cerebellar syndrome?

Accepted Answer

Incoordination: There are several features of people with cerebellar dysfunction with symptoms ranging from walking incoordination, hand incoordination, inability to do alternating movements, eye dysfunction and multiple others.  Basically, your cerebellum coordinates the complex movements of your body and therefore cerebellar syndrome is a dysfunction of that coordination. It can be much more complex than this.

Question 2

are there long-term effects of cerebellar syndrome?

Accepted Answer

Imbalance: The "cerebellar syndrome" refers to imbalance, primarily when walking, known as ataxia.  If the cerebellar dysfunction is temporary, imbalance may improve.  If disease is progressive, ataxia worsens. Recently cognitive functions have been discovered which are modified by the cerebellum but these are not considered in the "cerebellar syndrome".

Accepted Answer

Cerebellar stroke: Probably not.  It can cause problems with balance and may even cause cognitive problems(thinking problems and difficulty with memory).

Question 10

can a car wreck cause a cerebellar stroke 18 days after it happened?

Accepted Answer

Stroke: A cerebellar stroke is causes by blockage or hemorrhage involving an artery in the posterior circulation of the brain.
