|---|---|
| cerebellar arteries | An artery related to and supplying the cerebellum. See: anterior inferior cerebellar artery, posterior inferior cerebellar artery, superior cerebellar artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cerebellar astrocytoma | <oncology, tumour> This primary brain tumour of the cerebellum accounts for 10 to 30% of brain tumours in children. The are usually slow growing and benign. Symptoms include gait problems, clumsiness, headache and vomiting. Treatment often involves a combination of surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy. (27 Sep 1997) |
| cerebellar ataxia | Loss of muscle coordination caused by disorders of the cerebellum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cerebellar atrophy | A degeneration of the cerebellum, particularly the Purkinje cells, as the result of abiotrophy or of toxic agents, as in alcoholism. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cerebellar cortex | The thin gray surface layer of the cerebellum, consisting of an outer molecular layer or stratum moleculare, a single layer of Purkinje cells (the ganglionic layer), and an inner granular layer or stratum granulosum. Synonym: cortex cerebelli. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cerebellar cyst | A cyst usually occurring in the lateral cerebellar white matter; often a part of cerebellar astrocytoma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cerebellar dyssynergia | <neurology> A condition marked by generalised intention tremors associated with disturbance of muscle tone and of muscular coordination, caused by a disorder of cerebellar function. (12 Dec 1998) |
| cerebellar fissures | The deep furrows which divide the lobules of the cerebellum. See: postcentral fissure, primary fissure of cerebellum, secondary fissure of cerebellum. Synonym: fissurae cerebelli. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cerebellar fossa | The large concave impressions on the inner surface of the occipital bone on either side of the foramen magnum and internal occipital crest, housing the cerebellar hemispheres; a part of the posterior cranial fossa. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cerebellar frenulum | A band passing from the longitudinal groove between the quadrigeminal bodies on to the superior medullary velum. Synonym: frenulum veli medullaris superioris, cerebellar frenulum, frenulum cerebelli. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cerebellar gait | Wide-based gait with lateral veering, unsteadiness, and irregularity of steps; often with a tendency to fall to one or other side, forward or backward. Synonym: ataxic gait. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cerebellar hemisphere | The large part of the cerebellum lateral to the vermis cerebelli. Synonym: hemispherium cerebelli, hemispherium. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cerebellar herniation | A condition that occurs when the brain is under abnormally increased pressure. The increased intracranial pressure forces the brain downward inside the skull. This results in typical neurologic manifestations (coma, paralysis and a unilateral dilated pupil). May occur secondary to head injury, primary or metastatic brain tumour, bacterial meningitis and brain abscess. Brain herniations may involve different portions of the brain such as the cerebellum (cerebellar herniation), uncus (uncal herniation) and transtentorial herniation of the cerebrum. (27 Sep 1997) |
| cerebellar neoplasms | Neoplasms located in the cerebellum. (12 Dec 1998) |
