What does demyelination affect?
The myelin sheath that surrounds the nerve
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 does elongated T2 mean?
An elongated T2 signal on an MRI scan typically indicates an abnormality in the tissue being examined. This could be due to specific pathologies like edema, inflammation, or demyelination. Further investigation would be needed to determine the underlying cause.
