Can Cerebellar Hypoplasia be Cured?
Depends on severity
Management focuses on improving symptoms and addressing underlying causes
What is Cerebellar Hypoplasia?
Cerebellar hypoplasia is a condition where the cerebellum, a part of the brain responsible for coordination and balance, is underdeveloped. It can be congenital or acquired and may be associated with other neurological issues. Management focuses on supportive care.
