Diplegia Cerebellar

Everything new is well forgotten old. And this statement is true for many scientific and medical concepts that are relevant today. These include Digeo's disease, a rare neurological disease manifested by underdevelopment of the cerebellum. It is also called Pendroch's disease, reversible dystonia and/or sensory ataxia (associated with impaired motor functions, balance functions, and coordination of movements). The name of the pathology comes from the French word “dysplie”, which means “distortion”. We are talking about a pathology of one of the parts of the human central nervous system, in which the symmetry of the body is disturbed. The main, most common form of the disease is diplegic cerebellar ataxia. This is a fairly rare pathology; cerebellar disorders are observed worldwide in one child in a million.

Some important functions are concentrated in the cerebellum: coordination of movement, spatial orientation, balance, speech pronunciation, muscle strength, coordinated work of the eye muscles, the so-called vestibular apparatus.

Today, the cerebellum is a unique formation in the human central nervous system. It does not have direct connections with the spinal cord, medulla oblongata, midbrain, or cerebral hemispheres. But connected through it: a pyramid, three separate legs
