Tree Number(s): C10.228.140.252.190; C10.597.350.090.500; C23.888.592.350.090.200
Unique ID: D002524
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D002524
Annotation: DENTATE CEREBELLAR ATAXIA see MYOCLONIC CEREBELLAR DYSSYNERGIA is also available; ATAXIAS, HEREDITARY see SPINOCEREBELLAR DEGENERATION is also available
Scope Note: Incoordination of voluntary movements that occur as a manifestation of CEREBELLAR DISEASES. Characteristic features include a tendency for limb movements to overshoot or undershoot a target (dysmetria), a tremor that occurs during attempted movements (intention TREMOR), impaired force and rhythm of diadochokinesis (rapidly alternating movements), and GAIT ATAXIA. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p90)
