Diseases of the nervous system (neurology)

Abscesses in adults and children: typical, atypical, simple and complex

It happens that a person loses consciousness for a certain moment for no reason – as a rule, this is more common in childhood and is called “absence”.

Ventriculomegaly of the brain: what it is, causes, consequences

In both hemispheres of the brain, the diencephalon and between the cerebellum and medulla oblongata there are four special cavities - cerebral ventricles (ventriculi cerebri), which produce cerebrospinal fluid. Their pathological expansion or enlargement is defined as ventriculomegaly.

Senile dementia in women and men: signs, how to avoid it

Why do some old people develop and progress this disease, while others are spared? Is it possible to somehow help a loved one suffering from dementia?

Wallenberg-Zakharchenko syndrome.

The disease was described back in 1895 by psychotherapist Dr. Adolf Wallenberg. Later, 16 years later, another neuropathologist M. A. Zakharchenko supplemented the description of the pathology.

Treatment of senile dementia with medications

If there is a connection between dementia and other disease processes in the body, then at the first stage they are directly treated.

Ischemic nerve neuropathy: types

When it comes to ischemic neuropathy, everyone immediately remembers the pathology of the optic nerve, caused by a violation of blood circulation in one of the sections of the eye. More precisely, even the sections of the nerve itself, which adjoins the eyeball. The intra- and retrobulbar sections are most susceptible to ischemic lesions.

Ischemic neuropathy

Our body is a unique, but incredibly complex system in which everything is interconnected. It is clear that for the smooth and precise operation of any multi-component mechanism, an organ is needed that will control and direct the actions of each individual component and individual links of the overall system.

Stages of Alzheimer's disease: how they manifest themselves, duration

As a person approaches old age, not only the processes of memorization may suffer, but also mental abilities and cognitive reactions.

Upper extremity neuropathy

The innervation of the hand is carried out by a whole system of peripheral nerves, that is, located outside the brain and spinal cord. Their diseases of non-inflammatory genesis (caused by various degenerative and dystrophic processes) are called neuropathy.

Herpetic and postherpetic ganglioneuritis

However, ganglionitis does not have an ICD-10 code: codes G50-G59 indicate diseases associated with damage to individual nerves, nerve roots and plexuses.
