Select a specific condition below to view its details.

  • Fahr disease

    Familial idiopathic basal ganglia calcification (FIBGC) is a rare neurological disorder characterized by the presence of abnormal calcium deposits (calcifications) of unknown cause. Associated symptoms include progressive deterioration of cognitive abilities (dementia), loss of contact with reality (psychosis), mood swings and loss of acquired motor skills. As the condition progresses, paralysis may develop that is associated with increased mu  Read More

  • Galactosyl ceramide lipidosis

    A rare and frequently fatal lysosomal storage disorder called galactosylceramide lipidosis causes progressive harm to the nerve system. Galactosylceramide Lipidosis is an autosomal recessive condition marked by abnormal sphingolipid metabolism. The protective covering (myelin sheath) of neurons in the brain and throughout the nervous system is destroyed by this hereditary illness. It typically appears before the age of six mon  Read More

  • Galactosylceramidase deficiency

    A rare autosomal recessive lysosomal storage condition called galactosylceramidase deficiency is brought on by a lack of galactocerebrosidase. Galactocerebrosidase deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive condition brought on by a lack of the enzyme (GALC, also known as galactosylceramidase). The liposomal hydrolysis of galactolipids produced during white matter myelination is carried out by the enzyme galactocere  Read More

  • Globoid cell leukoencephalopathy

    An uncommon genetic degenerative illness of the central and peripheral nervous systems is known as globoid cell leukoencephalopathy. It is distinguished by the presence of globoid cells (cells with many nuclei), the breakdown of the myelin sheath that protects nerves, and the death of brain cells. These illnesses result in a severe decline in mental and motor abilities and affect the formation or development of th  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

  • Isaacs' syndrome

    Acquired neuromyotonia is an inflammatory disorder characterized by abnormal nerve impulses from the peripheral nerves that result in continuous muscle fiber activity. Affected individuals often experience progressive muscle stiffness and cramping especially in the hands and feet, increased sweating, and delayed muscle relaxation. Symptoms may persist even during sleep or under general anesthesia.  Read More

  • Isaacs-merten syndrome

    Acquired neuromyotonia is an inflammatory disorder characterized by abnormal nerve impulses from the peripheral nerves that result in continuous muscle fiber activity. Affected individuals often experience progressive muscle stiffness and cramping especially in the hands and feet, increased sweating, and delayed muscle relaxation. Symptoms may persist even during sleep or under general anesthesia.  Read More

  • Kok disease

    Hyperekplexia is a rare hereditary, neurological disorder that may affect infants as newborns (neonatal) or prior to birth (in utero). It may also affect children and adults. Individuals with this disorder have an excessive startle reaction (eye blinking or body spasms) to sudden unexpected noise, movement, or touch. Symptoms include extreme muscle tension (stiffness or hypertonia) that prevent voluntary movement and can cause the affected per  Read More

  • Mucopolysaccharidosis type iii

    Mucopolysaccharidosis type III, also known as Sanfilippo syndrome, is an inborn error in the metabolism of mucopolysaccharides. It reflects in deficiency or little activity of enzymes required for the catabolism of mucopolysaccharides leading to its accumulation. The disease presents with neurological manifestations such as autism, intellectual disability, behavioral problems, sleep disturbances, developmental regression, and  Read More

  • Nonketotic hyperglycinemia

    A high level of glycine in the body leads to a condition called nonketotic hyperglycinemia that primarily affects the nervous system. The disease onset occurs a few months after birth and has two forms: attenuated and severe. Early signs and symptoms are lethargy (which worsens over time and can lead to coma), life-threatening breathing difficulties, and weak muscle tone. The children who survive the early symptoms such as fee  Read More

  • Quantal squander

    Acquired neuromyotonia is an inflammatory disorder characterized by abnormal nerve impulses from the peripheral nerves that result in continuous muscle fiber activity. Affected individuals often experience progressive muscle stiffness and cramping especially in the hands and feet, increased sweating, and delayed muscle relaxation. Symptoms may persist even during sleep or under general anesthesia.  Read More

  • Reflex neurovascular dystrophy

    When a body develops a complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) due to immense pain and nervous issues is known as Reflex Neurovascular Dystrophy. Its cause is damage to the immune system and sympathetic nervous system. TREATMENTS: Various medical procedures help in getting rid of the disease of RSD on the symptomatic level to some extent. Apart from Physical and Psychotherapy, other methods to treat a p  Read More

  • Whiplash

    Signs and symptoms of whiplash usually — but not always — develop within 24 hours of the injury and may include: Neck pain and stiffness Worsening of pain with neck movement Loss of range of motion in the neck Headaches, most often starting at the base of the skull Tenderness or pain in the shoulder, upper back or arms Tingling or numbness in the arms Fatigu  Read More
