Short stature- MedGen UID:
- 87607
- •Concept ID:
- C0349588
- •
- Finding
A height below that which is expected according to age and gender norms. Although there is no universally accepted definition of short stature, many refer to "short stature" as height more than 2 standard deviations below the mean for age and gender (or below the 3rd percentile for age and gender dependent norms).
Clonus- MedGen UID:
- 40341
- •Concept ID:
- C0009024
- •
- Sign or Symptom
A series of rhythmic and involuntary muscle contractions (at a frequency of about 5 to 7 Hz) that occur in response to an abruptly applied and sustained stretch.
Babinski sign- MedGen UID:
- 19708
- •Concept ID:
- C0034935
- •
- Finding
Upturning of the big toe (and sometimes fanning of the other toes) in response to stimulation of the sole of the foot. If the Babinski sign is present it can indicate damage to the corticospinal tract.
Spastic paraplegia- MedGen UID:
- 20882
- •Concept ID:
- C0037772
- •
- Disease or Syndrome
Spasticity and weakness of the leg and hip muscles.
Hyperreflexia- MedGen UID:
- 57738
- •Concept ID:
- C0151889
- •
- Finding
Hyperreflexia is the presence of hyperactive stretch reflexes of the muscles.
Scissor gait- MedGen UID:
- 68547
- •Concept ID:
- C0231698
- •
- Finding
A type of spastic paraparetic gait in which the muscle tone in the adductors is marked. It is characterized by hypertonia and flexion in the legs, hips and pelvis accompanied by extreme adduction leading to the knees and thighs hitting, or sometimes even crossing, in a scissors-like movement. The opposing muscles (abductors) become comparatively weak from lack of use.
Delayed ability to walk- MedGen UID:
- 66034
- •Concept ID:
- C0241726
- •
- Finding
A failure to achieve the ability to walk at an appropriate developmental stage. Most children learn to walk in a series of stages, and learn to walk short distances independently between 12 and 15 months.
Hypoplasia of the corpus callosum- MedGen UID:
- 138005
- •Concept ID:
- C0344482
- •
- Congenital Abnormality
Underdevelopment of the corpus callosum.
Gait disturbance- MedGen UID:
- 107895
- •Concept ID:
- C0575081
- •
- Finding
The term gait disturbance can refer to any disruption of the ability to walk.
Impaired vibration sensation at ankles- MedGen UID:
- 343107
- •Concept ID:
- C1854372
- •
- Finding
A decrease in the ability to perceive vibration at the ankles. Clinically, this is usually tested with a tuning fork which vibrates at 128 Hz and is applied to the malleoli of the ankles.
Abnormal periventricular white matter morphology- MedGen UID:
- 435926
- •Concept ID:
- C2673431
- •
- Finding
A structural abnormality of the myelinated axons (white matter) located near the cerebral ventricles.
Intellectual disability- MedGen UID:
- 811461
- •Concept ID:
- C3714756
- •
- Mental or Behavioral Dysfunction
Intellectual disability, previously referred to as mental retardation, is characterized by subnormal intellectual functioning that occurs during the developmental period. It is defined by an IQ score below 70.
Hypertonia- MedGen UID:
- 10132
- •Concept ID:
- C0026826
- •
- Finding
A condition in which there is increased muscle tone so that arms or legs, for example, are stiff and difficult to move.
Muscular atrophy- MedGen UID:
- 892680
- •Concept ID:
- C0541794
- •
- Pathologic Function
The presence of skeletal muscular atrophy (which is also known as amyotrophy).
- Abnormality of the musculoskeletal system
- Abnormality of the nervous system
- Growth abnormality
