What happens to the cerebellum?

Cerebellar injuries are generally associated with headaches, as this is one of the most common clinical manifestations in the human body. Some people may experience vertigo, which is a distortion of vision, or the phenomenon of things spinning in front of the eyes. Others may have walking dysfunction, mainly because their sense of balance is affected, and many times they will have a drunken gait, as if they have had too much to drink, a wide-base gait, and a wobbly walk. Some people also have ataxia, which is commonly explained as the legs and hands not being on the same channel, and sometimes there may be a very disorganized process, so that if they are asked to do two up-and-down movements, they have no way of doing them. If the cerebellar injury is serious, it will also cause coma. So each person’s condition is different and must be treated according to the situation at the time.
