Spinocerebellar atrophy or Spinocerebellar degeneration. Cerebellum (in blue) of the human brain. Synonyms for autosomal-dominant cerebellar ataxias (ADCA) used prior to the current understanding of the molecular genetics were Marie's ataxia, inherited atrophy, cerebello-olivary atrophy, or the more generic term "spinocerebellar degeneration

A pineal tumor is a tumor of the pineal gland in your brain. This gland secretes a substance called melatonin that affects your sleep-wake cycles. These are very rare tumors. You may need surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, or a combination for a pineal tumor. Many people with a pineal tumor have a good outcome.

Spinocerebellar ataxias comprise a large (and expanding) group of diseases characterized by degeneration of the spinal cord and cerebellum. There are well over 25 individual spinocerebellar ataxias referred to sequentially as SCA1, SCA2,. Radiographic features. Although individual spinocerebellar ataxias vary in morphological changes, atrophy of the cerebellum is a relatively constant finding. Extracerebellar regions are also affected, depending on the specific SCA 1. References. 1. Lasek K, Lencer R, Gaser C et-al. Morphological basis for the spectrum of clinical deficits in spinocerebellar ataxia 17 (SCA17).

Spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) refers to a group of progressive neurodegenerative diseases of genetic origin. Currently, more than 30 types have been identified, most of which are autosomal dominant, such as SCA3. Trinucleotide repeat expansions in a disease-associated protein (. CAG repeats in ataxin-1) are commonly the underlying genetic anomaly.

Cerebellar and spinocerebellar degeneration have many different causes. The age of onset of the resulting ataxia varies depending on the underlying cause of the degeneration. Among the more common inherited ataxias are Friedreich’s ataxia and Machado-Joseph disease. Ataxias and Cerebellar or Spinocerebellar Degeneration. Ataxia often occurs when parts of the nervous system that control movement are damaged. People with ataxia experience a failure of muscle control in their arms and legs, resulting in a lack of balance and coordination or a disturbance of gait.
