Adiadokolxinesis.—Originally described by Babinski as character-istic of cerebellar disease, this symptom, consisting of a disability in 408 CEREBELLAR SYNDROMES the performance of rapid movements involving the alternating actionsof agonist and antagonist muscles (see Examination), is not invariablyfound nor always clearly indicative of cerebellar disorder; yet it isso frequently found as to merit special attention. It is in part a variantof ataxia brought out by a special test. Here the timing sense thatis regulated by the cerebellum is at fault. In the absence of paralysisit usually is indicative of cerebellar path involvement. It is frequentlyabsent in extracerebellar tumors in which there are other well-markedcerebellar signs, as in frontal tumors. Vertigo.—^As the chief organ of orientation in space, severe disturb-ance of certain of the cerebellar reflex paths causes vertigo, whichis apt to be a prominent and a fairly constant sign.
