[|Human|] hello....my sister (48yo) has had cerebellar ataxia for many years and now lives in a nursing home. She is unable to walk, dress or feed herself and has slurred speech. They called today stating that she had some seizure activity. Had to lie her on the floor for a few minutes but appeared to be ok now. My question: are seizures part of her medical condition ? They have told us that she would continue to get worse over time and would eventually become bed bound.
[|AI|]  Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. Seizures are unlikely to arise from cerebellum, but cerebellar masses like tumors or hemorrhage witChatDoctorpression of fourth ventricle can cause HY Chat Doctor.  Another cause of seizure could be electrolyte imbalance. So if there is no investigation with imaging of brain and blood electrolyte, the condition of your sister might worsen. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
