Dyschronometria is the medical term used to describe a patient who cannot accurately estimate the amount of time that has passed (i.e. distorted time perception). This can be a sign of cerebellar ataxia. which is when the cerebellum has been damaged and does not function to its fullest ability. Lesions to the cerebellum can cause dyssynergia dysmetria dysdiadochokinesia dysarthria and ataxia of stance and gait. as well as a precursor for a patient who will be having a stroke.
