Tetraplegia- MedGen UID:
- 19617
- •Concept ID:
- C0034372
- •
- Disease or Syndrome
Paralysis of all four limbs, and trunk of the body below the level of an associated injury to the spinal cord. The etiology of quadriplegia is similar to that of paraplegia except that the lesion is in the cervical spinal cord rather than in the thoracic or lumbar segments of the spinal cord.
Seizure- MedGen UID:
- 20693
- •Concept ID:
- C0036572
- •
- Sign or Symptom
A seizure is an intermittent abnormality of nervous system physiology characterized by a transient occurrence of signs and/or symptoms due to abnormal excessive or synchronous neuronal activity in the brain.
Hypokinesia- MedGen UID:
- 39223
- •Concept ID:
- C0086439
- •
- Finding
Abnormally diminished motor activity. In contrast to paralysis, hypokinesia is not characterized by a lack of motor strength, but rather by a poverty of movement. The typical habitual movements (e.g., folding the arms, crossing the legs) are reduced in frequency.
Polyneuropathy- MedGen UID:
- 57502
- •Concept ID:
- C0152025
- •
- Disease or Syndrome
A generalized disorder of peripheral nerves.
Areflexia- MedGen UID:
- 115943
- •Concept ID:
- C0234146
- •
- Finding
Absence of neurologic reflexes such as the knee-jerk reaction.
Generalized-onset seizure- MedGen UID:
- 115963
- •Concept ID:
- C0234533
- •
- Disease or Syndrome
A generalized-onset seizure is a type of seizure originating at some point within, and rapidly engaging, bilaterally distributed networks. The networks may include cortical and subcortical structures but not necessarily the entire cortex.
Motor polyneuropathy- MedGen UID:
- 82885
- •Concept ID:
- C0271683
- •
- Disease or Syndrome
Inflammation or degeneration of the peripheral motor nerves.
Involuntary movements- MedGen UID:
- 140884
- •Concept ID:
- C0427086
- •
- Sign or Symptom
Involuntary contractions of muscle leading to involuntary movements of extremities, neck, trunk, or face.
Global developmental delay- MedGen UID:
- 107838
- •Concept ID:
- C0557874
- •
- Finding
A delay in the achievement of motor or mental milestones in the domains of development of a child, including motor skills, speech and language, cognitive skills, and social and emotional skills. This term should only be used to describe children younger than five years of age.
Hyporeflexia- MedGen UID:
- 195967
- •Concept ID:
- C0700078
- •
- Finding
Reduction of neurologic reflexes such as the knee-jerk reaction.
Increased CSF lactate- MedGen UID:
- 257904
- •Concept ID:
- C1167918
- •
- Finding
Increased concentration of lactate in the cerebrospinal fluid.
Developmental regression- MedGen UID:
- 324613
- •Concept ID:
- C1836830
- •
- Disease or Syndrome
Loss of developmental skills, as manifested by loss of developmental milestones.
Irritability- MedGen UID:
- 397841
- •Concept ID:
- C2700617
- •
- Mental Process
A proneness to anger, i.e., a tendency to become easily bothered or annoyed.
Abnormal basal ganglia morphology- MedGen UID:
- 1619147
- •Concept ID:
- C4520981
- •
- Anatomical Abnormality
Abnormality of the basal ganglia.
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.
Muscle weakness- MedGen UID:
- 57735
- •Concept ID:
- C0151786
- •
- Finding
Reduced strength of muscles.
Muscular atrophy- MedGen UID:
- 892680
- •Concept ID:
- C0541794
- •
- Pathologic Function
The presence of skeletal muscular atrophy (which is also known as amyotrophy).
Ragged-red muscle fibers- MedGen UID:
- 477048
- •Concept ID:
- C3275417
- •
- Finding
An abnormal appearance of muscle fibers observed on muscle biopsy. Ragged red fibers can be visualized with Gomori trichrome staining as irregular and intensely red subsarcolemmal zones, whereas the normal myofibrils are green. The margins of affect fibers appear red and ragged. The ragged-red is due to the accumulation of abnormal mitochondria below the plasma membrane of the muscle fiber, leading to the appearance of a red rim and speckled sarcoplasm.
Respiratory insufficiency due to muscle weakness- MedGen UID:
- 812797
- •Concept ID:
- C3806467
- •
- Finding
Increased circulating lactate concentration- MedGen UID:
- 332209
- •Concept ID:
- C1836440
- •
- Finding
Abnormally increased level of blood lactate (2-hydroxypropanoic acid). Lactate is produced from pyruvate by lactate dehydrogenase during normal metabolism. The terms lactate and lactic acid are often used interchangeably but lactate (the component measured in blood) is strictly a weak base whereas lactic acid is the corresponding acid. Lactic acidosis is often used clinically to describe elevated lactate but should be reserved for cases where there is a corresponding acidosis (pH below 7.35).
Increased serum pyruvate- MedGen UID:
- 376596
- •Concept ID:
- C1849488
- •
- Finding
An increased concentration of pyruvate in the blood.
Tongue fasciculations- MedGen UID:
- 65987
- •Concept ID:
- C0239548
- •
- Finding
Fasciculations or fibrillation affecting the tongue muscle.
Decreased activity of mitochondrial complex IV- MedGen UID:
- 866520
- •Concept ID:
- C4020800
- •
- Finding
A reduction in the activity of the mitochondrial respiratory chain complex IV, which is part of the electron transport chain in mitochondria.
