Isolated Gait Ataxia Due to Cerebellar Vermis Infarct

Gray matter volume of cerebellum associated with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus: A cross-sectional analysis

“…A study on the coordinated movement of mice found that the cerebellar vermis plays an important role in controlling the speed and direction of movement ( 31 ). Studies have found that patients with cerebellar vermis infarction have symptoms of gait ataxia ( 32 ). These studies have shown that the cerebellar vermis plays an important role in gait control; however, our study found that the correlation between iNPH cerebellar vermis volume changes and gait disorder score u-iNPHGS was not significant (r = −0.5312; P = 0.11).…”

Isolated hemorrhage in the cerebellar vermis with vertigo and body lateropulsion to the contralesional side

“…There have been several reports of patients with isolated lesions of the cerebellar vermis presenting with clinical features similar to those of peripheral vestibulopathy without the usual signs or symptoms of cerebellar dysfunction, such as dysmetria, ataxia, asymmetrical pursuit and/or optokinetic nystagmus, and dysarthria [5-9]. The patterns of presenting signs and symptoms differ among patients depending on the location of the lesions.…”

“…Cases of periodic alternating nystagmus, body lateropulsion, positional vertigo and nystagmus, pursuit eye movement disorders, or gait ataxia caused by lesions in various locations or different pathologies of the vermis have been reported [7-9]. Small cerebellar hemorrhage presenting with features similar to those of labyrinthine disorders has only been reported in a few cases, and not in the Korean literature [2-4].…”

“…In the cerebellum, lesions of the nodulus, rostral vermis, tonsil, or cerebellar peduncle can develop isolated body lateropulsion [5-7,9-11]. Body lateropulsion is contralesional in patients with lesions in the nodulus [5,6], but ipsilesional in patients with lesions in the cerebellar peduncle, dorsal spinocerebellar tract, or rostral vermis [7,10-14].…”

Isolated body lateropulsion caused by a lesion of the rostral vermis

“…I have identified seven previously reported cases with different kinds of lesions in the English literatures: lateral medullary infarction [9][10][11], infarction of the superior and inferior cerebellar peduncle [12], midbrain infarction involving red nucleus [13], and cerebellar infarction [14,15]. Cerebellar lesion commonly results in a postural instability from mild veering to severe gait ataxia with sudden falling (i.e., axial or body lateropulsion), and the other neurological symptoms or signs are usually associated with gait ataxia.…”
