What is Pseudo-bulbar palsy? A disease known as pseudo bulbar palsy is caused on by an upper motor lesion resulting from a bilateral disruption of the corticobulbar pathways. Dysarthria, dysphagia, facial and tongue paralysis, and emotional instability are signs of pseudobulbar palsy. It manifests as the incapacity to regulate facial motions, such as speaking and…
Introduction: Sharp pain, stiffness, tingling, or numbness that difficult with normal activities might be caused by a pinched nerve in the neck. The good news is that you may quickly release pressure on the nerve and regain mobility with the optimal combination of mild stretches, posture correction, and easy at-home methods. The secret to quick…
Ataxia-telangiectasia: what is it? Ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T), also known as Louis-Bar Syndrome, is an uncommon genetic illness that affects the immunological, neurological, and other body systems. When cells in your body’s central nervous system gradually quit functioning, it’s known as a neurodegenerative disease. Ataxia, or difficulty with movement and coordination, is the most prevalent symptom of A-T, and…
Introduction: The disorder known as autosomal recessive cerebellar ataxia type 1 (ARCA1) is characterised by developing mobility issues. Early to mid-adulthood is when the disorder’s signs and symptoms initially manifest. Dysarthria, a speech disability, ataxia, a balance and coordination problem, or both are among the disorder’s early signs. Additionally, they could struggle with movements that…
A Sensory Ataxia: What is it? Sensory Ataxia is a type of ataxia caused by the loss of proprioceptive input—the body’s ability to sense its position in space—due to damage in the sensory pathways, especially the dorsal columns of the spinal cord or peripheral nerves. Whenever a patient obtains a positive Romberg’s sign, it demonstrates that their…
Introduction Spinocerebellar ataxia type 3, also known as Machado-Joseph disease, is an inherited neurological illness that impairs muscle function, leading to a lack of balance and coordination. As a result of the disease, your arms and legs gradually become less coordinated. Although there is currently no known cure for Machado-Joseph disease, medication can help control…
Friedreich’s Ataxia: What is it? Friedreich’s Ataxia (FA) is a rare, inherited genetic disorder that causes progressive damage to the nervous system. It primarily affects the spinal cord and the nerves connecting it to muscles and sensory organs. The condition typically begins in childhood or adolescence and is characterized by progressive difficulty in walking, loss…
A Paraneoplastic Syndrome: What is it? Paraneoplastic syndromes are rare disorders triggered by an abnormal immune response to cancer. They occur when tumors produce hormones, cytokines, or antibodies that affect distant organs, leading to neurological, endocrine, dermatologic, or rheumatologic symptoms. These syndromes can precede cancer diagnosis and often require treating both the underlying malignancy and…
Multiple System Atrophy: What is it? Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a rare neurological illness that causes some brain regions to degenerate. Over time, this impairs the capacities and functioning of specific brain regions. This sickness is eventually dangerous. MSA is a unique word that combines the characteristics of three previous disorder designations. The conditions…
What is an Episodic Ataxia? Episodic ataxia (EA) is a neurological disorder that affects movement. At least eight varieties have been identified, all of which are hereditary but can vary in their symptoms and onset ages. Less than 0.001 percent of people have EA, making it uncommon. Episodes of ataxia, or poor balance and/or coordination,…
