What sort of disease? Since you haven't mentioned, ICD9: 437
A cerebral or brain aneurysm is a cerebrovascular disease in which weakness in the wall of veins causes a localized dilation or ballooning of the blood vessel. The bursting of an aneurysm in blood vessel can cause brain death.
Ischemic small vessel disease in the brain is a significant concern as it can lead to cognitive decline, vascular dementia, and an increased risk of stroke. It results from the narrowing or blockage of small blood vessels, which impairs blood flow and can cause small areas of brain tissue to infarct. The condition often correlates with other risk factors, such as hypertension and diabetes, making management crucial for preventing further neurological deterioration. Early detection and intervention can help mitigate its impact on quality of life.
It is a fear of brain disease. The primary symptom would be becoming intensely fearful of damaging your brain or becoming infected with a brain disease.
a disease that affectes brain and causes a stroke
A stroke occurs when there is a blocked vessel in the brain. If there is a blockage, no oxygen will pass through, thus a stroke occurs. It's not a heart disease nor is it a disorder.
Symptoms of the disease are caused by widespread patches of demyelination throughout the brain and spinal cord, resulting in slowed, faulty nervous transmission.
People with Down syndrome will develop the brain changes that characterize Alzheimer's disease in later life and may develop the clinical symptoms of this disease as well.
These symptoms are due to degeneration of a small portion of the brain called the substantia nigra, the cells of which secrete the chemical dopamine that influences cells in another brain region called the globus pallidus internus (GPi).
