Dysphagia- MedGen UID:
- 41440
- •Concept ID:
- C0011168
- •
- Disease or Syndrome
Difficulty in swallowing.
Loss of ambulation- MedGen UID:
- 332305
- •Concept ID:
- C1836843
- •
- Finding
Inability to walk in a person who previous had the ability to walk.
Easy fatigability- MedGen UID:
- 373253
- •Concept ID:
- C1837098
- •
- Finding
Increased susceptibility to fatigue.
Decreased miniature endplate potentials- MedGen UID:
- 381306
- •Concept ID:
- C1853952
- •
- Finding
An abnormal reduction in the amplitude of the miniature endplate potentials, i.e. the postsynaptic response to transmitter released from an individual vesicle at the neuromuscular junction.
Prolonged miniature endplate currents- MedGen UID:
- 350370
- •Concept ID:
- C1864238
- •
- Finding
An abnormal prolongation of the miniature endplate potentials, i.e. the postsynaptic response to transmitter released from an individual vesicle at the neuromuscular junction.
Delayed ability to sit- MedGen UID:
- 1368737
- •Concept ID:
- C4476710
- •
- Finding
A failure to achieve the ability to sit at an appropriate developmental stage. Most children sit with support at 6 months of age and sit steadily without support at 9 months of age.
Hypotonia- MedGen UID:
- 10133
- •Concept ID:
- C0026827
- •
- Finding
Hypotonia is an abnormally low muscle tone (the amount of tension or resistance to movement in a muscle). Even when relaxed, muscles have a continuous and passive partial contraction which provides some resistance to passive stretching. Hypotonia thus manifests as diminished resistance to passive stretching. Hypotonia is not the same as muscle weakness, although the two conditions can co-exist.
Generalized muscle weakness- MedGen UID:
- 155433
- •Concept ID:
- C0746674
- •
- Sign or Symptom
Generalized weakness or decreased strength of the muscles, affecting both distal and proximal musculature.
Poor head control- MedGen UID:
- 322809
- •Concept ID:
- C1836038
- •
- Finding
Difficulty to maintain correct position of the head while standing or sitting. Infant head lag is observed when the head seems to flop around or lags posteriorly behind the trunk. Several articles have maintained that head lag should be absent by age 3 to 4 months.
EMG: decremental response of compound muscle action potential to repetitive nerve stimulation- MedGen UID:
- 892749
- •Concept ID:
- C4021728
- •
- Finding
A compound muscle action potential (CMAP) is a type of electromyography (EMG). CMAP refers to a group of almost simultaneous action potentials from several muscle fibers in the same area evoked by stimulation of the supplying motor nerve and are recorded as one multipeaked summated action potential. This abnormality refers to a greater than normal decrease in the amplitude during the course of the investigation.
Respiratory insufficiency- MedGen UID:
- 11197
- •Concept ID:
- C0035229
- •
- Pathologic Function
Impairment of gas exchange within the lungs secondary to a disease process, neoplasm, or trauma, possibly resulting in hypoxia, hypercarbia, or both, but not requiring intubation or mechanical ventilation. Patients are normally managed with pharmaceutical therapy, supplemental oxygen, or both.
Ptosis- MedGen UID:
- 2287
- •Concept ID:
- C0005745
- •
- Disease or Syndrome
The upper eyelid margin is positioned 3 mm or more lower than usual and covers the superior portion of the iris (objective); or, the upper lid margin obscures at least part of the pupil (subjective).

- Abnormality of the eye
- Abnormality of the musculoskeletal system
- Abnormality of the nervous system
- Abnormality of the respiratory system
