Cerebellar ataxia- MedGen UID:
- 849
- •Concept ID:
- C0007758
- •
- Disease or Syndrome
Cerebellar ataxia refers to ataxia due to dysfunction of the cerebellum. This causes a variety of elementary neurological deficits including asynergy (lack of coordination between muscles, limbs and joints), dysmetria (lack of ability to judge distances that can lead to under- or overshoot in grasping movements), and dysdiadochokinesia (inability to perform rapid movements requiring antagonizing muscle groups to be switched on and off repeatedly).
Chorea- MedGen UID:
- 3420
- •Concept ID:
- C0008489
- •
- Disease or Syndrome
Chorea (Greek for 'dance') refers to widespread arrhythmic involuntary movements of a forcible, jerky and restless fashion. It is a random-appearing sequence of one or more discrete involuntary movements or movement fragments. Movements appear random because of variability in timing, duration or location. Each movement may have a distinct start and end. However, movements may be strung together and thus may appear to flow randomly from one muscle group to another. Chorea can involve the trunk, neck, face, tongue, and extremities.
Dysarthria- MedGen UID:
- 8510
- •Concept ID:
- C0013362
- •
- Mental or Behavioral Dysfunction
Dysarthric speech is a general description referring to a neurological speech disorder characterized by poor articulation. Depending on the involved neurological structures, dysarthria may be further classified as spastic, flaccid, ataxic, hyperkinetic and hypokinetic, or mixed.
Torticollis- MedGen UID:
- 11859
- •Concept ID:
- C0040485
- •
- Sign or Symptom
Torticollis is a twisted neck as a result of shortening of sternocleidomastoid muscle. This short and fibrotic muscle pulls the head laterally and rotates the chin and face to the opposite end. Facial asymmetry may be a manifestation (summary by Engin et al., 1997).
Abnormality of extrapyramidal motor function- MedGen UID:
- 115941
- •Concept ID:
- C0234133
- •
- Sign or Symptom
A neurological condition related to lesions of the basal ganglia leading to typical abnormalities including akinesia (inability to initiate changes in activity and perform volitional movements rapidly and easily), muscular rigidity (continuous contraction of muscles with constant resistance to passive movement), chorea (widespread arrhythmic movements of a forcible, rapid, jerky, and restless nature), athetosis (inability to sustain the muscles of the fingers, toes, or other group of muscles in a fixed position), and akathisia (inability to remain motionless).
Scanning speech- MedGen UID:
- 116113
- •Concept ID:
- C0240952
- •
- Mental or Behavioral Dysfunction
An abnormal pattern of speech in which the words are as if measured or scanned; there is a pause after every syllable, and the syllables themselves are pronounced slowly.
Dementia- MedGen UID:
- 99229
- •Concept ID:
- C0497327
- •
- Mental or Behavioral Dysfunction
A loss of global cognitive ability of sufficient amount to interfere with normal social or occupational function. Dementia represents a loss of previously present cognitive abilities, generally in adults, and can affect memory, thinking, language, judgment, and behavior.
Anemia- MedGen UID:
- 1526
- •Concept ID:
- C0002871
- •
- Disease or Syndrome
A reduction in erythrocytes volume or hemoglobin concentration.
Cogwheel rigidity- MedGen UID:
- 57469
- •Concept ID:
- C0151564
- •
- Sign or Symptom
A type of rigidity in which a muscle responds with cogwheellike jerks to the use of constant force in bending the limb (i.e., it gives way in little, repeated jerks when the muscle is passively stretched).
Diabetes mellitus- MedGen UID:
- 8350
- •Concept ID:
- C0011849
- •
- Disease or Syndrome
A group of abnormalities characterized by hyperglycemia and glucose intolerance.
Decreased circulating iron concentration- MedGen UID:
- 65918
- •Concept ID:
- C0235988
- •
- Finding
The concentration of iron in the blood circulation is below the lower limit of normal.
Increased circulating ferritin concentration- MedGen UID:
- 69130
- •Concept ID:
- C0241013
- •
- Finding
Increased concentration of ferritin in the blood circulation.
Deficiency of ferroxidase- MedGen UID:
- 168057
- •Concept ID:
- C0878682
- •
- Disease or Syndrome
Aceruloplasminemia is characterized by iron accumulation in the brain and viscera. The clinical triad of retinal degeneration, diabetes mellitus (DM), and neurologic disease is seen in individuals ranging from age 30 years to older than 70 years. The neurologic findings of movement disorder (blepharospasm, grimacing, facial and neck dystonia, tremors, chorea) and ataxia (gait ataxia, dysarthria) correspond to regions of iron deposition in the brain. Individuals with aceruloplasminemia often present with anemia prior to onset of DM or obvious neurologic problems. Cognitive dysfunction including apathy and forgetfulness occurs in more than half of individuals with this condition.
Blepharospasm- MedGen UID:
- 599
- •Concept ID:
- C0005747
- •
- Disease or Syndrome
A focal dystonia that affects the muscles of the eyelids and brow, associated with involuntary recurrent spasm of both eyelids.
Retinal degeneration- MedGen UID:
- 48432
- •Concept ID:
- C0035304
- •
- Finding
A nonspecific term denoting degeneration of the retinal pigment epithelium and/or retinal photoreceptor cells.
