Abstract

The cerebellar ataxia is a heterogeneous group of disorders clinically characterized by the presence of cerebellar dysfunction. These results from the involvement of cerebellum and its afferent and efferent path ways including spinocerebellar pathway, and the frontopontocerebellar pathways. Etiology of cerebellar ataxia can be classified based on the onset, progression, location of lesions, based on distribution, hereditary. In Ayurveda by seeing etiology and symptoms can be correlated to shiromarmopaghata. Due to indulgence in vataja ahara and vihar, abhighata does the vata and raktapradushana leading to shiromarmopaghata. In cerebellar ataxia shiromarmopagata Chikitsa can be adopted. Since we don’t get direct reference about this disease based on hetu vishesha and sthana vishesha treatment can be adopted.
