What is Vasculitic process with resultant focal demyelination?
A vasculitic process is something that was going on in your body that caused inflammation of vessels. Focal demyelination is a small area of loss of the "insulating" fatty layer that covers the nerves.
Which condition is characterized by scattered patches of demyelination of nerve fibers of the brain?
Multiple sclerosis is a condition characterized by scattered patches of demyelination of nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord. This demyelination disrupts the ability of nerve fibers to conduct electrical impulses, leading to various neurological symptoms.
How does metachromatic leukodystrophy affect a human organism?
Sulfatide accumulates in the brain and other areas of the body such as the liver, gall bladder, kidneys, and/or spleen. The buildup of sulfatide in the central nervous system causes demyelination
What condition causes patchy demyelination in the brain and spinal cord?
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 happens with demyelination and denervation?
Demyelination is the loss of the protective covering (myelin sheath) around nerve fibers, which can lead to impaired nerve conduction. Denervation refers to the loss of nerve supply to a particular muscle or organ, which can result in muscle weakness or dysfunction. Both conditions can lead to a variety of neurological symptoms depending on the location and extent of the damage.
Which condition is characterized by scattered patches of demyelination nerve fibers of the brain and spinal cord?
multiple sclerosis
What causes numbness and tingling in the fingers of individuals with untreated pernicious anemia?
Vitamin B12 deficit causing peripheral nerve demyelination.
What is demyelinating processes?
Demyelination is the process that erodes the sheath that normally protects nerve cells. This causes a reduction in the nerve impulse conduction. One of the diseases that causes this is multiple sclerosis.
How is Schilder's disease similar to MS?
It resembles multiple sclerosis both in its symptoms (difficulties with movement and speech) and its pathology (widespread demyelination of the brain).
What causes many small foci of demyelination all over the brain in both hemisphere besided ms?
Small foci of demyelination in both hemispheres of the brain can be caused by conditions such as acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM), neuromyelitis optica (NMO), leukodystrophies, and infections like progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). These conditions can present with similar patterns of demyelination to multiple sclerosis (MS) but have distinct underlying causes and clinical features. A detailed evaluation by a neurologist and additional tests such as MRI, lumbar puncture, and blood tests are typically needed to differentiate between these conditions.
