Cerebrovascular Accident What are the signs and symptoms of a cerebrovascular accident? Signs and symptoms of a stroke depend upon the part of the brain affected and how much damage occurred. During a CVA, you may have numbness (no feeling), tingling, weakness, or paralysis (cannot move) on one side of the body. You may have trouble walking, swallowing, talking, or understanding. Your vision (sight) may be blurred or doubled. You may have a severe headache, feel dizzy, confused, or pass out. These signs or symptoms may appear within minutes or hours. How is a cerebrovascular accident diagnosed? You may have any of the following tests to diagnose CVA: CT scan: This is also called a CAT scan.

Severe imbalance...been told caused by shrinking cerebellumâ¦ I am familiar with the condition that you have described and can help you with your questions/concerns. Cerebellum is the area of the brain that is concerned with coordinating body movements and maintenance of balance. If somebody has cerebellar shrinking then imbalance usually occurs. Sometimes this imbalance itself may be interpreted as weakness or there may be other causes for weakness.

Cerebellar Disorders There are a large number of processes that injure the cerebellum. Ethanol and many anticonvulsant medications (such as phenytoin and carbamazepine) are cerebellar toxins. Ethanol characteristically causes atrophy of the cerebellar vermis. This is true even for exposure in utero (Autti-Ramo et al, 2002).

- Symptoms of a Massive Hemorrhagic Stroke. A hemorrhagic stroke may occur within the brain or on the surface of the brain. Symptoms of the former include a severe headache, confusion, nausea, vomiting, and seizures. The more severe these symptoms, the more massive the stroke is. If the stroke occurs on the surface of the brain, symptoms are slightly different. These symptoms may include headache, vomiting, neck stiffness, loss of vision, or in severe cases, rigidity and coma. Symptoms of hemorrhagic strokes begin suddenly, but often worsen over the course of a few hours.

Loss of Balance (Unbalanced Gait) in Cats Peripheral vestibular signs do not include changes in mental status, vertical eye movements, sensory deficits, or weakness in the legs. Cerebellar ataxia is reflected in uncoordinated motor activity of the limbs, head and neck, taking large steps, stepping oddly, head tremors, body tremors and swaying of the torso.

Cerebellar Stroke- Recovery, Symptoms, Treatment Cerebellar Stroke- Recovery, Symptoms, Treatment. A cerebellar stroke may occur when the supply of oxygen and blood to the brain is stopped; this may happen due to blockage or obstruction in the arteries that supply blood to brain. A person may be affected by stroke also due to aneurism burst.

Coordination Disorders The cerebellum malfunctions, causing loss of coordination. Often, people cannot control their arms and legs, making them take wide, unsteady steps when they walk. Doctors base the diagnosis on symptoms, family history, magnetic resonance imaging of the brain, and often genetic testing.
