Hey fellas!

There's something lovely in your skull that helps keep you steady.
That's your cerebellum!

Let's learn about it.

Something lovely that helps you study?
That's your cerebrum!
Let's get to it!

The mnemonic for remembering the clinical signs and symptoms of Cerebellar disease is -

"IT'S Eyes Rebound like a Pendulum."

Intention Tremor
Scanning speech
Eyes rebound for nystagmus
Rebound for the rebound phenomenon
Pendulum for pendular knee jerk and hypotonia

Also remember the "4 Dys" of Cerebellar lesions
Dysarthria
Dysmetria
Dyssynergia
Dysdiadochokinesia

For vermis, or midline lesions, remember the 3 T's - Titubation, Truncal ataxia & tandem gait (positive heel to toe gait)
