Neurological Problems

Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures that can manifest in various forms, including convulsions, loss of consciousness, or sensory disturbances. It is caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain and can be genetic or acquired.

Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that affects memory, thinking, and behaviour. It is the most common form of dementia in older adults and is caused by abnormal protein deposits in the brain that damage brain cells.

Dementia is a broad term used to describe a decline in cognitive function that interferes with daily life. It is a progressive condition that affects memory, thinking, behaviour, and the ability to perform everyday tasks. There are many types of dementia, with Alzheimer’s disease being the most common.

Cerebrovascular diseases include conditions that affect the blood vessels in the brain, such as stroke, hemiplegia, hemiparesis, migraine, and other headache disorders. These conditions can be caused by blockages or ruptures in blood vessels and can lead to a wide range of symptoms and complications.

Multiple sclerosis is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system. It causes damage to the myelin sheath that surrounds nerve fibres, leading to a variety of symptoms such as muscle weakness, vision problems, and difficulty with coordination.

Parkinson’s disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects movement. It is caused by the degeneration of dopamine-producing neurons in the brain, and symptoms include tremors, stiffness, and problems with balance and coordination.

Neuro infections are infections that affect the nervous system, including the brain and spinal cord. Examples include meningitis, encephalitis, and neurosyphilis.

Brain tumours are abnormal growths in the brain that can be either benign or cancerous. They can cause a range of symptoms depending on their size and location, including headaches, seizures, and changes in cognitive function.

Traumatic disorders of the nervous system refer to injuries sustained to the brain and spinal cord due to head trauma. Examples include concussion, contusion, and spinal cord injury.

Spinal disorders refer to conditions that affect the spine, including herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and scoliosis. These conditions can cause a range of symptoms such as back pain, numbness, and weakness.

Parkinsonism, facial palsy, and paralysis are conditions that affect movement and can be caused by various factors, including genetics, injury, or infection.

Facial palsy is a condition that affects the facial nerves, leading to weakness or paralysis of the facial muscles. It can be caused by infection, injury, or other factors.

Trigeminal neuralgia is a chronic pain condition that affects the trigeminal nerve, which carries sensation from the face to the brain. It causes intense, sharp pain in the face that can be triggered by simple actions such as chewing or speaking.

Radial nerve palsy is a condition that affects the radial nerve, which controls movement in the forearm and wrist. It can lead to weakness or paralysis of the arm and hand.

Erb’s palsy is a condition that affects the nerves in the neck and shoulder, leading to weakness or paralysis of the arm. It can be caused by injury during childbirth.

Klumpke’s palsy is a condition that affects the nerves in the lower arm and hand, leading to weakness or paralysis of the hand and fingers. It can be caused by injury during childbirth.

Winging of the scapula is a condition that causes the shoulder blade to protrude from the back, and can be caused by nerve damage or muscle weakness.

Axillary nerve injury is a condition where the nerve that controls the shoulder and upper arm muscles is damaged or compressed, causing weakness or paralysis of the affected muscles. This can be caused by trauma or prolonged pressure on the nerve.

Ape’s Hand or median nerve palsy is a condition that occurs when the median nerve in the arm is damaged, leading to weakness or paralysis of the muscles in the hand. This can cause a claw-like appearance of the hand, where the fingers are bent inwards towards the palm.

Wrist drop or radial nerve palsy is a condition where the radial nerve, which controls the muscles in the forearm and hand, is damaged, leading to weakness or paralysis of the wrist and fingers. This can make it difficult to grip objects or perform fine motor movements.

Claw hand or ulnar nerve palsy is a condition where the ulnar nerve, which controls the muscles in the hand, is damaged, leading to weakness or paralysis of the muscles that control the fingers. This can cause the fingers to curl up in a claw-like position.

Brachial neuropathy is a condition where the nerves that control the muscles in the shoulder, arm, and hand are damaged, leading to weakness or paralysis in these areas. This can be caused by trauma, infection, or inflammation.

Bell’s palsy is a condition where the facial nerve, which controls the muscles of the face, is damaged, leading to weakness or paralysis of the affected muscles. This can cause drooping of the mouth, difficulty closing the eye on the affected side, and other facial asymmetries.

Cerebellar ataxia is a condition where the cerebellum, which is responsible for coordinating movement and balance, is damaged, leading to unsteady gait, difficulty with fine motor movements, and other coordination problems.

Parkinson’s disease is a degenerative neurological disorder that affects movement, causing tremors, stiffness, and difficulty with balance and coordination. It is caused by the degeneration of dopamine-producing neurons in the brain.

Vertigo is a sensation of dizziness or spinning, often accompanied by nausea or vomiting. It is caused by a disruption in the balance of the inner ear or the brain’s ability to interpret sensory information related to balance.

Meniere’s disease is a disorder of the inner ear that causes episodes of vertigo, hearing loss, and tinnitus. It is caused by a buildup of fluid in the inner ear, which disrupts the balance and hearing mechanisms.
