Nervous Diseases

Chronic degenerative neuromuscular disease, cause is unknown, results in degeneration of CNS nerve cells causing weakness and atrophy of muscles; Lou Gehrigs Disease

• Cerebral Palsy

• Cerebrovascular Accident

• Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

• Parkinson's Disease

condition that occurs when the medial nerve and tendons pass through a canal or "tunnel" on their way form the forearm to the hand and fingers are pinched; repetitive movement causes swelling to put pressure on the nerves and tendons; symptoms include pain, muscle weakness and tingling in the hand and impaired movement.

• paralysis

• neuralgia

• epilepsy

• carpal tunnel syndrome

disturbance in voluntary muscle caused by brain damage from lack of oxygen to the brain, birth injuries, German measles during pregnancy; symptoms include exaggerated reflexes, muscle tension, contracture development, seizures, speech impairment, spasms, tremors, and in some cases mental disablity

• cerebrovascular accident

• cerebral palsy

• amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

• parkinson's disease

CVA; stroke; occurs when blood flow to the brain is impaired resulting in a lack of oxygen and destruction of brain tissue; causes can be bleeding or a clot

• cerebrovascular accident

• cerebral palsy

• amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

• parkinson's disease

inflammation of the brain and is caused by a virus, bacterium, chemical agent; virus is usually contracted by a mosquito bite; symptoms included visual disturbances,headaches, vomiting, stiff neck and back, disorientation, seizures, and coma

• neuralgia

• encephalitis

• meningitis

• hydrocephalus

seizure syndrome, brain disorder associated with abnormal electrical impulses of the brain

• epilepsy

• hydrocephalus

• paralysis

• meningitis

an excessive accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid in the ventricles of the brain; causes include birth defects, infection, or tumor that obstructs the fluid; symptoms include abnormally large head, prominent forehead, bulging eyes, irritability, distended scalp veins, and when pressure prevents proper brain development, retardation.

• epilepsy

• hydrocephalus

• meningitis

• paralysis

inflammation of the meninges of the brain and/or spinal cord caused by bacterium, toxin, virus, fungus; symptoms include high fever, headaches, back and neck pain and stiffness, nausea, vomiting, delirium, coma, and death if left untreated.

• encephalitis

• paralysis

• neuragla

• meningitis

nerve pain, caused by inflammation, pressure, and other diseases

• paralysis

• paraplegia

• neuralgia

• neuropathy

neurons are destroyed resulting in loss of function and sensation below the level of injury; caused by brain or spinal cord injury

• neuralgia

• paralysis

• hemiplegia

• paraplegia
