Spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) is a term referring to a group of ataxias that are characterized by degenerative changes in the cerebellum and sometimes in the spinal cord. Moreover, it is a hereditary and progressive condition. Presentation of SCA  There are more than 20 identified types of Spinocerebellar ataxias; SCA1, SCA2, SCA3 and SCA6 being the most common amongst all. Though each may have unique signs and symptoms, however, in general, it is difficult to differentiate among the different types, and all are presented by problems with movement that tend to get worse over time. Depending on the type of SCA, signs and symptoms can develop anytime from childhood to late adulthood.  Affected people may experience some or all of the following:  Problems with coordination and balance (ataxia)  Uncoordinated walk (ataxic gait, also called drunkard’s gait)  Poor hand-...

Causes:-         Bell's palsy occurs when the seventh cranial nerve becomes swollen or compressed, resulting of facial muscles weakness or Paralysis. The exact cause of this damage was unknown, but many medical researches believes it's moist likely triggered by viral infection. Epidemiology:-         Population studies show an average incidence of 11 to 40 cases per 100,00 population.  It is the most common cause of acute unilateral facial paralysis, thought to cause between 60 and 75% of all unilateral facial palsy cases. Pathophysiology:-         The facial nerve is damaged by inflammation within the nerve causing it to become enlarged, at the point where the nerve exits the skull through the stylomastoid foramen.  Ischemia occurs as the nerve swells in its bony canal, blocking neural blood supply.        Having said that Bell's Palsy is a diagnosis of exclusion and that we are not certain what c...
