ICD-Code G46.4: Cerebellar stroke syndrome
Parts of your cerebellum have impaired function.
The brain is located inside the head. It receives, processes and stores sensory impressions. The brain controls movements and various physical functions. The cerebellum is part of the brain. The cerebellum monitors and controls body movements and actions. To do this, it continuously processes feedback from the muscles and sensory organs. This is important for being able to maintain balance while riding a bike, for example.
Parts of your cerebellum have impaired function. These impairments are related to blood vessels in the brain. One cause, for example, is that the cerebellum is not getting enough blood.
If the cerebellum is impaired, various problems can occur. You may have mobility problems, for example. You are then unable to control movements in the normal way. You may also have speech problems.
