Evaluation of infratentorial atrophy by computed tomography.

Eight parameters of cranial computed tomograms were examined from 121 controls, 33 patients suffering from paleocerebellar atrophy and 53 with widespread cerebellar atrophy. With the aid of step-by-step linear discriminant analysis the most important parameters were found and their normal and limiting values were calculated. With the help of correlation analysis the correlation between normal values and the age of the controls was investigated.
