Alcoholic cerebellar degeneration

Alcoholic cerebellar degeneration (ACD) is a common cerebellar degeneration that is common in alcoholics, and its incidence is about twice that of Wernicke's encephalopathy. The clinical features are gait instability and widening step. CT and MRI studies show that almost all patients with chronic alcoholism have atrophy of the cerebellum, the upper part of the cerebellar vermiform atrophy is heavier, and the blood flow and glucose metabolism rate of the upper part of the vermiform are significantly reduced.
