Dad(52yrs)diagnosed w/cerebral vermian atrophy. symptoms:uncoordinated movements, speech, swallowing difficulty(at times). non-drinker. is there a cure
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Search for cause: The term "cerebral atrophy" is generic and does not explain why your dad is impaired. You truly need to have a full neurological evaluation, as the symptoms do raise concerns regarding many potential problems. Some of these issues could be associated with vitamin deficiencies, some from an inflammatory condition. Even might be due to a prion infection. Need to vigorously pursue.
