A member asked:
When i research cerebellar degeneration, i find the terms cerebellar ataxia or paraneoplastic cerebellar. are these all the same condition?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not the same: Cerebellar ataxia is the loss of coordination due to an illness affecting the cerebellum (as opposed to one affecting the spinal cord, corpus callosum, etc.) A paraneoplastic cerebellar condition is an illness of the cerebellum related to antibodies produced in response to a malignancy (i.e. cancer). Hope that helps.
