Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which condition can be caused by stroke, tumor, and multiple sclerosis and primarily affects the ipsilateral limbs causing tremor, dysmetria, and dysdiadochokinesia?
A
Vermal Syndrome
B
Friedrich’s Ataxia
C
Cerebellar agenisis
D
Cerebellar hemispheral syndrome
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Lateralized cerebellar lesions cause ipsilateral symptoms and signs, whereas diffuse cerebellar lesions give rise to more generalized symmetric symptoms. Lesions in the cerebellar hemisphere produce limb (appendicular) ataxia. Lesions of the vermis cause truncal and gait ataxia with limbs relatively spared.

Detailed explanation-2: -The term dysmetria describes the inability of patients to execute complex movements in which the judgment of distance is impaired and expressed as inaccurate control of the range and direction of movement.
