I have been diagnosed with an atrophied cerebellum with no obvious cause. A blood test has been sent to the Mayo Clinic.

HI, @alexgoldman2 - welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect.

I'd like to introduce you to some of the other members of this discussion on cerebral atrophy, like @chiefsfan75 @howardjames @ace123 @hopeful33250 @menville and others. I trust some of them will have input for you on their experiences personally or with a loved one with this diagnosis.

In the meantime, here is some information from the National Institutes of Health on cerebral atrophy: https://www.ninds.nih.gov/Disorders/All-Disorders/Cerebral-Atrophy-Information-Page

Have you been experiencing symptoms from this, @alexgoldman2?

Hello @alexgoldman2

I would like to join Lisa, @lisalucier, in welcoming you to Mayo Connect. I am sorry to hear of your diagnosis of cerebellum atrophy.

I also would be interested in knowing what type of symptoms you had that your doctors considered this diagnosis and what type of tests were done to come to his conclusion? Have the results from the blood test at Mayo be sent to you doctor yet?
