Diplopia is a symptom that individuals with<unk>  may experience. Patients suffering from<unk>  experience a progressive loss of nerve cells (Purkinje cells) throughout the cerebellum. As well as this, it is common to incur an elevated blood protein level and a high volume of lymph cells within the cerebrospinal fluid, resulting in swelling and enlargement of the brain. The most characteristic signs and symptoms experienced by patients with<unk>  include: * muscle weakness * an uncoordinated, staggering walk * quivering of the torso * jerky arm and leg movements * tendency to falling over * dysarthria (difficulty in articulating speech) * dysphagia (difficulty in deglutition/swallowing of solids and liquids) * vertigo (dizziness) * nystagmus (rapid, involuntary eye movements), causing sleep disturbances * ophthalmoplegia (paralysis of extraocular muscles) * diplopia (double vision) Scientific studies have revealed that psychiatric symptoms are also common in patients with<unk> , where dementia is a typical psychiatric disorder resulting from cerebellar damage. Approximately 50% of all patients suffer from dementia as a result of paraneoplastic<unk> .
