Cerebellar ataxia: clinical case
Abstract
In the field of dentistry, notable advancements have been achieved over the recent decades, with a focus on therapeutic efficiency and enhancing the patient experience. One of the pivotal challenges in this domain pertains to expediting dental movement, which has the potential to reduce the duration of orthodontic treatments and minimize adverse impacts on periodontal tissues. Analyze a case of cerebellar ataxia to show relevant data on the disease and the most important nursing care. Descriptive, retrospective clinical case study. The technique used to collect case information was by reviewing the clinical history and to describe the pathology by compiling articles extracted from recognized databases such as: Scopus, PorQuest, Pubmed, Web of science, Lilacs.As inclusion criteria: articles published in the last 5 years, in Spanish and English. The legal ethical process is fulfilled with the signing of the assent. 28-year-old patient, diagnosed with cerebellar Ataxia from birth and 93% physical disability. Three visits are made, confirming that it is stable, quiet, and correct hygiene. The mother is guided in the post-consultations the importance of the diet she must carry, changes of position, taking medicines, hygiene that the patient should. Cerebellar ataxia is an alteration in the coordination of movements. Nursing care is essential for patients with cerebellar ataxia, as well as the guidance that these professionals can provide to the family about their care. Family support is essential so that with treatment and care they have a certain quality of life.
