Diseases of the nervous system (neurology)

Attacks of immobility or "congealing". Causes and Symptoms

The states of permanent or periodic immobility, "congealing", akinesia, aspontaneity, areactivity of different origin refer to the so-called negative neurological symptoms.

Crumpy: causes, symptoms, diagnosis

Spontaneous cramps are sudden involuntary and painful tonic muscular contractions that arise spontaneously or are provoked by movement and are manifested by a muscular roller (tight, "knot") dense on palpation visible to the eye.Crampi usually captures one muscle or part of it.

Stroke at a young age

Strokes are always a somato-neurological problem. This applies not only to stroke in adulthood, but especially to strokes at a young age (according to the WHO classification in the range of 15 to 45 years). Ischemic strokes at a young age differ in etiological heterogeneity.

Syndrome of transverse spinal cord injury: causes, symptoms, diagnosis

Transverse spinal cord injuries involve one or more segments and completely or partially interrupt the spinal cord. More common is the syndrome of partial (partial) transverse lesion.

Pseudobulbar syndrome

Pseudobulbar paralysis (supranuclear bulbar paralysis) is a syndrome characterized by paralysis of the muscles innervated by V, VII, IX, X, XII by the cranial nerves, as a result of bilateral damage to the cortical-nuclear pathways to the nuclei of these nerves.

Bulb syndrome

Boulevard syndrome develops with damage to the caudal parts of the brain stem (medulla oblongata) or its connections with the executive apparatus. The functions of the medulla oblongata are diverse and have a vital meaning. Nuclei IX, X, and XII nerves are centers of control for the reflex activity of the pharynx, larynx, and tongue and are involved in providing articulation and swallowing.

Cerebellar ataxia

Cerebellar ataxia is a general term for impaired coordination of movements due to diseases and damage to the cerebellum and its connections. Cerebellar ataxia is manifested by specific abnormalities of the gait (cerebellar dysbasia), balance, discoordination of movements in the limbs (actually ataxia)

Myopathic syndrome: causes, symptoms, diagnosis

The term myopathy in the broad sense is understood as a disease of skeletal muscles. According to one of the modern classifications, myopathies are divided into muscular dystrophies, congenital myopathies, membrane myopathies, inflammatory myopathies and metabolic myopathies.

Myelopathy chronic

Myelopathy broadly covers all diseases of the spinal cord. The main manifestations of myelopathy are the following. Back pain in chronic myelopathy (as opposed to acute myelopathy) is rare and can accompany, for example, spondylosis or syringomyelia.

Alternating syndromes: causes, symptoms, diagnosis

The nuclei of the cranial nerves and their roots, as well as long ascending and descending tracts, are closely packed in the brainstem. Therefore, lesions in the brainstem usually affect both segmental formations (cranial nerves) and long conductors, which leads to characteristic combinations of symptoms in the form of ipsilateral damage to the cranial nerve and contralateral hemisyndrome (alternating syndromes).
