Cerebral ataxia

Cerebral ataxia is ataxia that can occur when the frontal lobe, parietal lobe, face lobe, occipital lobe, and abdominal cavity are affected. Frontal ataxia is caused by damage to the cerebellar tract of the frontal pontine. It is characterized by appearing while standing or walking. If apraxia of the lower limbs occurs, frontal lobe lesions should be highly considered. Parietal ataxia is often accompanied by deep sensory disturbances, and damage to the paracentral lobules in the parietal lobe results in cerebellar symptoms and dysuria. Collar ataxia can be accompanied by other signs of collar ataxia.
