List Diseases – A
Ataxia-telangiectasia may vary significantly in different patients. Progressive cerebellar ataxia and telangiectasia are present in all patients, and the "café au lait" pattern on the skin is common. The tendency to infections ranges from very pronounced to very moderate. The incidence of malignant neoplasms, mainly tumors of the lymphoid system, is very high.
Astrocytoma of the spinal cord is about 9 times less common than brain tumors and mainly affects adults. In most cases, benign astrocytomas become malignant - this occurs in about 70% of patients.
Astrocytoma, especially its malignant variants, is more often diagnosed in middle-aged and older male patients. But more often does not mean always. There are cases of the disease in women as well.
A more likely factor is hereditary predisposition, but it does not explain why brain astrocytomas are not diagnosed in the prenatal and early postnatal period. It seems that this is an acquired pathology, but what triggers the process in this case?
Astheno-neurotic syndrome (ANS) is a condition characterized by symptoms of physical and mental fatigue, irritability, insomnia, low mood and other manifestations.
