Brain shrinking, is there a chance for recovery?

Anonymous

I have a relative recently diagnose that the brain is shrinking, and the cells in the cerebellum are only 10%, or even lower than 10%(I want to check if 10% of the cerebellum is left, does it mean that the cerebellum is dead? If not dead, is there any method to trigger the cerebellum?) Besides that, if the cerebellum dies, will it lead to quadriplegia? Can it be recover? Thank you.

Answer:

In response to your inquiry, if only 10% of the cerebellum remains, it doesn’t necessarily mean the cerebellum is "dead" as some remaining cells may still have some function, though the extent of impairment can be significant. It’s important to consult with a neurologist for a detailed assessment and potential treatments such as physical therapy or medications to aid recovery. While damage to the cerebellum can severely affect motor control, it is less likely to directly lead to quadriplegia, which is typically associated with spinal cord or motor cortex damage. Although the cerebellum cannot fully regenerate, rehabilitation therapies can sometimes improve symptoms. We recommend you consult with a specialist for a comprehensive evaluation and to explore treatment options that may be available.
