Signs or Symptoms of Spinocerebellar Ataxia:

Persons with spinocerebellar ataxia, of which there are several types, experience a degeneration of the spinal cord and the cerebellum, the small fissured mass at the base of the brain, behind the brain stem. The cerebellum is concerned with coordination of movements, so the "wasting away" of this critical control center results in a loss of muscle coordination. Atrophy in the spine can bring spasticity.
