A member asked:
If my cerebellar atrophy is only mild on mri scan, then why do i have distinct symptoms while others with more atrophy can be asymptomatic?

Cerebellar atrophy: It basically depends on the precise area of the brain affected...Certain areas are more important than others. If your atrophy has consumed less vital brain tissue, then it will result in far less clinical symptoms.

2 reasons: First, size of lesion does not always correlate with signs or symptoms and , second, your signs and symptoms can be related to another disease process as well. Ask your doctor about these factors and good luck.
