Cerebellar Signs and symptoms

Remember: 3 Deadly ANTS Playing on your cerebellum ( =  DDD ANTS P , i.e 3 Ds expanded )

Dysarthria
Decreased tone
Dysdiadochokinesis
Ataxia
Nystagmus
Tremor (Intention tremors)
Slurrred speech / Scanning speech
Pendular knee jerk

Note: Please try to quote the ANTS first in the order of symptoms before 3 Ds, as they are the most important. See the picture below to remember the 3 ants better :-)
