What happens with demyelination and denervation?
Demyelination and denervation bring about muscle weakness, loss of sensation, or paralysis because the affected nerves cannot transmit signals to muscles.
What does demyelination affect?
The myelin sheath that surrounds the nerve
Autoimmune disorder with extensive demyelination?
Multiple sclerosis
What is Vasculitic process with resultant focal demyelination?
Vasculitic process is inflammation of blood vessels that can affect the central nervous system. Resultant focal demyelination refers to damage to the myelin sheath that covers nerve fibers, leading to impaired nerve conduction and neurological deficits. In this scenario, the inflammation of blood vessels is causing localized areas of demyelination in the nervous system.
What condition causes patchy demyelination in the brain and spinal cord?
Multiple Sclerosis.
Which condition is characterized by scattered patches of demyelination of nerve fibers of the brain?
multiple sclerosis
Condition characterized by scattered patches of demyelination of nerve fibers of the brain and spinal cord?
multiple sclerosis
Which condition is characterized by scattered patches of demyelination of the nerve fibers of the brain and spinal cord?
multiple sclerosis
What does chronic ischemic demyelination mean?
The nerves cells and brain cells have isolating cells around themselves that are called myelin. Demyelination means reduction of the number or size of those cells. Chronic means that the reduction lasts a long time or is permanent. Ischemic means that it is caused by lack of oxygen, which is most often due to bad blood supply. The condition will reduce the effectiveness of the conduction of nerve impulses or even cause nerve cells to get damaged too.
Which condition is characterized by scattered patches of demyelination nerve fibers of the brain and spinal cord?
multiple sclerosis
What causes many small foci of demyelination all over the brain in both hemisphere besided ms?
multifocal leukoencephalopathy
What does it mean to have minimal demyelination in the left centrum semiovale?
It means that there is a small amount of removal of the mylen sheath of the nerves in the white matter under the gray matter (which is the cortex of the brain). This part of the brain appears to be in semi-ovals and so the name.
