- Azorean neurologic disease
Azorean neurologic disease is one of the 40 types of spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA). It is the third type and is called type 3 SCA. Mutations in the gene that codes for the protein ataxin-3 cause the disease. Particularly, the gradual expansion of the CAG repeats is the cause. Normal ataxin-3 is involved in protein homeostasis and cytoskeleton regulation in the central nervous system. The abnormal ataxin protein leads to the los Read More
- Dutch-kennedy syndrome
Dutch-kennedy syndrome is a rare inherited disorder characterized by short muscles and tendons that result in limited mobility of the hands, legs, and mouth. The most serious complication of this condition is the inability to completely open the mouth (trismus), which causes difficulty with chewing. Short muscles and tendons in the fingers cause the fingers to bend or curve (camptodactyly) when the hand is bent back at the wri Read More
- Encephalocele
An uncommon illness called encephalocele that develops before birth (congenital). Typically, the third and fourth weeks of pregnancy are when the brain and spinal cord develop. The neural tube is how they are created. The majority of encephaloceles develop when the neural tube is not completely closed. When the baby's brain, neurological system, and skull are just beginning to form, this should take place. Brain tissue and spi Read More
- Epilepsy and multiple subpial transection (mst)
Epilepsy is a central nervous system (neurological) disorder in which brain activity becomes abnormal, causing seizures or periods of unusual behavior, sensations and sometimes loss of awareness Anyone can develop epilepsy. Epilepsy and multiple subpial transection (MST) affects both males and females of all races, ethnic backgrounds and ages Because epilepsy is caused by abnormal activity in the brain, seiz Read More
- Epilepsy: extratemporal cortical resection
Epilepsy is a central nervous system (neurological) disorder in which brain activity becomes abnormal, causing seizures or periods of unusual behavior, sensations and sometimes loss of awareness . Anyone can develop epilepsy. Epilepsy affects both males and females of all races, ethnic backgrounds and ages ecause epilepsy is caused by abnormal activity in the brain, seizures can affect any process your brain coordinates. Seizure signs and symp Read More
- Idiopathic basal ganglia calcification
Idiopathic basal ganglia calcification is a hereditary, genetic condition marked by abnormal calcium deposits in parts of the brain that regulate movement. Basal ganglia, cerebral, and cortical regions (parts of the brain) have calcium deposits that cause atrophy. Motor and mental problems result from the considerable neuron (brain cell) loss caused by this mineral deposit. There is a paucity of molecular and gene Read More
- Infantile epileptic encephalopathy
The neurological condition known as infantile epileptic encephalopathy is characterized by seizures. The condition typically manifests in infants as epileptic seizures within the first three months of life (most frequently within the first 10 days). Symptoms of infantile epileptic encephalopathy 1. The electroencephalogram (EEG), which gauges the electrical activity of the brain, exhibits EIEE symptom Read More
- Opthalmoneuromyelitis
Opthalmoneuromyelitis, also known as Devic disease, is an acquired condition triggered by autoimmune reactions and certain microbial infections. However, some studies suspect the involvement of genetic factors. It is a rare chronic demyelinating disorder that affects the optic nerve and spinal cord. There are two forms: monophasic and relapsing. Monophasic occurs once that lasts for 30 to 60 days. Whereas it recurs in a relaps Read More
- Optic neuromyelitis
Optic neuromyelitis, also known as Devic's disorder or neuromyelitis optica, is a central nervous system disease that primarily affects the eye and spinal cord. Effects on the eyes are referred to as optic neuritis, whereas those on the spinal cord are called myelitis. The clinical manifestations are blindness in one or both eyes, weakness or paralysis in the legs or arms, painful spasms, loss of sensation, uncontrollable vomi Read More
