Abstract
A study has been made of 10 patients with cerebellar dysfunction and chronic alcoholism without other evidence of nutritional deficiency. Evidence of cerebellar dysfunction was most apparent in the legs and slight or absent in the trunk and arms. All the patients steadily improved in the hospital when given adequate diets and supplementary protein and vitamins. The majority were discharged from the hospital with insignificant or no evidence of cerebellar dysfunction. A tendency for relapse is noted among patients who resumed excessive use of alcohol intake and had inadequate diet.
