Is spinocerebellar ataxia considered MS?
No. MS (Multiple Sclerosis) and Spinocerebellar Ataxia (SCA) are different diseases. MS affects the degeneration of "myelin", which is the coating around neurons responsible for ensuring that signals travel smoothly. SCAs (there are a handful) result in the degeneration of different regions of the brain, depending on the particular type of SCA. Some SCAs are inheritedly genetically where if a parent is affected, a child would have a 50% chance of inheriting the disease. SCAs are sometimes misdiagnosed as MS. Hope that helps.

Is Cerabelum Ataxi does it fall under parkinsonism?
Cerebellar ataxia is a term that describes a group of disorders that affect the coordination of movement, balance, and speech. Parkinsonism is a term that describes a set of symptoms that include tremor, rigidity, slowness of movement, and postural instability. Both cerebellar ataxia and parkinsonism can have various causes and can sometimes overlap in their clinical presentation. Some types of cerebellar ataxia are inherited and are called spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA). There are many subtypes of SCA, each with different genetic mutations and clinical features. Some SCA subtypes can also present with parkinsonism, either as a primary or secondary symptom. For example, SCA2, SCA3, and SCA17 are known to have parkinsonism as a common feature. The parkinsonism in these cases can be responsive to levodopa treatment, similar to Parkinson's disease, or resistant to it, resembling atypical parkinsonism. Therefore, cerebellar ataxia does not necessarily fall under parkinsonism, but some forms of cerebellar ataxia can be associated with parkinsonism. The diagnosis of cerebellar ataxia and parkinsonism requires a careful clinical evaluation, genetic testing, and sometimes brain imaging to rule out other possible causes. If you have any concerns about your symptoms or your family history, you should consult your doctor for further advice.
