Syncope is a temporary loss of consciousness caused by transient general hypoperfusion of the brain. Syncope clinic consists of precursors (lack of air, “nausea”, fog or “flies” in front of the eyes, dizziness), a period of unconsciousness and a recovery stage in which weakness, hypotension, dizziness persists. Diagnosis of syncopal conditions is based on tilt…
NeuroAIDS is a generalized clinical concept that includes diverse primary and secondary syndromes and diseases of the nervous system caused by HIV. Manifestations of neuroAIDS can be meningoencephalitis, polyneuropathy, encephalopathy and myelopathy, opportunistic neuroinfections, central nervous system tumors, cerebral vascular disorders, etc. neuroAIDS is diagnosed by comparing the results of HIV tests, neurological examination data,…
Neurosarcoidosis is a manifestation of systemic sarcoidosis, which is a progressive lesion of the nervous system. The disease is characterized by the formation of non-caseous granulomas in the tissue of the brain and spinal cord, cranial and peripheral nerves. The clinical picture depends on the localization of granulomas, is represented by pyramidal and extrapyramidal disorders,…
If mothers show increased rigor in communicating with their children, then their likelihood of falling into depression increases. And all because the mother’s cry rebuilds their brain, as researchers from the University of Munster in Germany have found. German researchers have stated that strict and often screaming mothers increase the risk of their children developing…
Neurorheumatism is a rheumatic process in the tissues of the central and peripheral nervous system. It is manifested by symptoms of encephalitis, meningitis, myelitis, arachnoiditis, sciatica, neuritis. The leading clinical form is small chorea. Neurorheumatism is diagnosed by a neurologist and a rheumatologist taking into account laboratory data, electroencephalography, CT/MRI of cerebral structures, and cerebrospinal…
Neuromyotonia is an autoimmune neuromuscular disease that occurs in response to a malfunction of the potassium ion channels. Pathology develops with myasthenia gravis, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, collagenoses, and also as a component of paraneoplastic syndrome. The main symptoms include uncontrolled muscle twitching, muscle rigidity, hyporeflexia. Electromyography, muscle biopsy, immunological and genetic studies are used for diagnosis.…
Neuroleukosis is a complicating leukemia lesion of the nervous system caused by infiltration of nervous structures by leukemic cells. It is manifested by a meningeal symptom complex, signs of intracranial hypertension, focal neurological deficit, peripheral nerve dysfunction. The diagnosis of “neuroleukosis” is established according to neurological examination, analysis of cerebrospinal fluid, cerebral tomography, craniography, examination…
Neurocovid is an unofficial name for lesions of the central and peripheral nervous system in COVID–19. The condition is caused by both the direct damaging effect of the coronavirus and indirect systemic disorders of the body. Pathology has polymorphic manifestations: asthenic syndrome, psychoemotional disorders, cognitive deficits. Severe forms of neurocovid are characterized by disorders of…
Neurocardiogenic syncope is a group of clinical syndromes associated with the pathological reflex effect of the autonomic nervous system on the regulation of vascular tone and heart rhythm. Characterized by short-term loss of consciousness caused by acute arterial hypotension and /or slowing of the pulse, occur with parasyncopal symptoms, accompanied by an increased risk of…
Neurogenic shock is an acute circulatory failure that occurs due to a sudden loss of sympathetic regulation of vascular tone when the nervous system is damaged. The most characteristic signs of pathology are hypotension, relative bradycardia, hyperemia and hyperthermia of the skin of the extremities. Severe shock is accompanied by respiratory and consciousness disorders, neurological…
