Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune demyelinating disorder it is characterized by inflammation and destruction of CNS myelin. It affects approximately 350,000 persons in the united states and more than 1 million worldwide (Porth,2014). The age of onset is typically between 18 and 45 years of age. Women are affected twice more frequently than men. Etiology is the cause or set of causes of a disease or condition. The cause of MS is unknown but it is likely that multiple factors are a cause for

65-year-old right-handed white male who has been having trouble with sleep apnea. ENT is planning to do some septal surgery and in preparation for this, he had a CT of the sinuses. This revealed a possible right corona radiata lesion. He has had an MRI to better outline that lesion. It reveals within the mid right corona radiata there is an 8 x 9 mm dark T1 and T2 weighted nodule with slightly higher central signal and no enhancement. There is no evidence for vessel extending to this area. This area

Autism is a behavioral syndrome usually presenting behavior abnormalities before the child is 30 months of age. These behavioral abnormalities include marked social deficits, specific language abnormalities and stereotyped, repetitive behaviors (Piven, 1990). Although the exact etiology of autism is not known it is now believed that it is a dysfunction of one or more unidentified brain systems and not the result of parental and environmental influences. Variations in symptomology and in prognosis

gene. One of these tumors is the hemangioblastoma. These tumors most commonly occur in the retina, cerebellum, and spinal cord. Hemangioblastomas are well-circumscribed, benign neoplasms containing capillary vessels. They do not invade or metastasize but do cause symptoms from increased pressure and hemorrhage. In the retina, they occur in the periphery or the juxtapapillary region and they can result in vision loss from tumor edema, exudation, and/or traction. Hemorrhage can also result in glaucoma

common triggers were chewing 21.7% and washing face 9.4%.Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain was done in 28.1% of patients and 72.4% of the reports revealed the vascular impingement of the trigeminal nerve by the Superior Cerebellar artery. No other intracranial lesions were reported in MRI scans. Majority of the patients was managed with oral medications alone, whereas 29.8% were managed with local anesthetic injection in addition to the conventional oral medication. 70.2% of patients had improvement

Brainstem Injuries and the Neuropsychologist The Neuropsychologist plays an essential function in assessment and rehabilitation after an injury to the head. Neuropsychologists essentially bear responsibility for testing and tracking the patients thinking ability. Below are key functions provided by clinical neuropsychologists: - Carrying out detailed assessments of cognition, emotion, behavior, and social competence; - Devising and implementing training programs; - Liaising

Diffusion restriction in Fulminant Subacute Sclerosing Panencephalitis: Report of a new finding. Introduction: Subacute SclerosingPanencephalitis(SSPE) is a fatal form of progressive encephalitis caused by abnormal persistence of measles virus infection in central nervous system(ref).SSPE usually occurs in young children and adolescents; however it is also known to affect adults and pregnant women(ref). The clinical picture is characterized by behaviour abnormalities, cognitive decline, myoclonic

Neurosurgeon participants at a ventricular endoscopic course then performed an endoscopic approach to the intraventricular tumor model lesion via an ipsilateral frontal burr hole. The properties of the SRSDP mixture could be manipulated through varying concentrations of source materials in order to achieve the desired consistency of a nodular solid lesion and allow for piecemeal resection. The tumor could be injected into the lateral and/or third ventricles. The tumor model allowed participants to

Multiple sclerosis is a prolonged, progressive, wasting disorder of the Central Nervous System categorized by distributed demyelination of nerve fibers of the brain and spinal cord. The onset of MS is usually between 20 and 50 years of age, although it can occur in young teens and much older adults. Women are affected two of three times more often than men. (Lewis, Dirksen, Heitkemper, Bucher, & Camera, 2014, p. 1428) MS is five times more dominant in temperate climates such as those found in the

Patients have neuropsychological deficits at the time of the onset of the disease. Common symptoms are: motor deficits, altered state of consciousness, visual disturbances and ataxia. However, there are also atypical manifestations that include cerebellar syndrome, meningitis, and meningoencephalitis, progressive myoclonic ataxia, muscular degeneration associated with signs extrapyramidal (Fig.). It is a progressive disease and leads to death within a few months where the patient is in permanent
