<unk>  is clinically in approximately 5–10% of all cases of<unk>  palsy, making it the least frequent form of<unk>  palsy diagnosed.<unk>  is caused by damage to cerebellar structures, differentiating it from the other two forms of<unk>  palsy, which are spastic<unk>  palsy (damage to cortical motor areas and underlying white matter) and dyskinetic<unk>  palsy (damage to basal ganglia). Because of the damage to the cerebellum, which is essential for coordinating muscle movements and balance, patients with<unk>  experience problems in coordination, specifically in their arms, legs, and trunk.<unk>  is known to decrease muscle tone. The most common manifestation of<unk>  is intention (action) tremor, which is especially apparent when carrying out precise movements, such as tying shoe laces or writing with a pencil. This symptom gets progressively worse as the movement persists, causing the hand to shake. As the hand gets closer to accomplishing the intended task, the trembling intensifies which makes it even more difficult to complete. Like all forms of CP, there is no cure for<unk> . However, there are a number of diverse treatments which together have been used to limit the negative effects of the condition. Like all forms of CP it is most common for<unk>  to be congenital, resulting from errors in the development of the cerebellum and connexins during pregnancy. However it is also possible to be acquired via meningitis or even by head trauma, although the latter more often leads to one of the many forms of traumatic brain injury, which is categorically separate from<unk>  palsy as a class.
