Manifestations of neurological disease

There are many types of common diseases, and different diseases have different symptoms and treatments. Therefore, before treating the disease, you must have a good understanding of your own disease, which will be of great help in improving the disease. So what are the manifestations of neurological diseases? Neurological diseases are very common, and these diseases are caused by various reasons.

A common cause of neurological diseases is excessive stress in patients' lives, which leads to this phenomenon. Therefore, many people are not clear about the manifestations of neurological diseases. A detailed introduction is given below.

Symptoms of neurological diseases:

Neurological disorders can occur from a variety of causes. The causes of many neurological diseases remain unclear.

Infections include bacterial infections, such as purulent meningitis and brain abscesses, which are caused by various purulent bacteria; viral infections, such as epidemic encephalitis caused by Japanese encephalitis virus, epidemic chest pain caused by type B coxsackie virus, poliomyelitis caused by poliovirus, kuru or slow virus infection, and subacute sclerosing panencephalitis may be caused by a mutant strain of measles virus; parasitic infections, such as cerebral malaria, cerebral paragonimiasis, and cerebral cysticercosis; fungal infections, such as Candida albicans and cryptococcal meningitis; Leptospira can also cause meningoencephalitis. The cause of some epilepsy is local scarring after infection of the meninges or cerebral cortex.

Poisoning includes metal poisoning, such as lead poisoning, which can cause peripheral motor nerve paralysis and lead encephalopathy. Mercury, arsenic and thallium poisoning also affect the nervous system. Organic poisoning, such as alcohol poisoning and barbiturate poisoning, can inhibit the central nervous system. Organophosphorus poisoning causes overexcitement of the choleretic nerves. Bacterial toxin poisoning, such as botulism, can cause cranial nerve paralysis and limb weakness. Diphtheria toxin can cause nerve paralysis. Tetanus toxin can cause systemic skeletal muscle rigidity and spasm. Animal poisons (toxins contained in coelenterates, shellfish, poisonous mosquitoes, spiders, pufferfish, etc.) can also cause neurological symptoms (muscle weakness, paralysis, convulsions, ataxia, etc.).

Genetic defects Many metabolic diseases that affect the nervous system (such as phenylpropionic aciduria, glycogen storage disease, mucopolysaccharidosis, lipid storage disease), degenerative diseases (such as leukodystrophy, Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, hereditary optic atrophy, etc.) and myopathies (such as progressive muscular dystrophy) are genetic diseases. Most of them are autosomal recessive. Hyperkalemic and hypokalemic periodic paralysis are inherited in an autosomal dominant manner.

People with the nutritional disorder kwashiorkor (a form of protein-energy malnutrition) may have neurological symptoms such as tremors, bradykinesia, and myoclonus. Vitamin A deficiency or poisoning can cause intracranial hypertension. Vitamin B deficiency can affect the nervous system. For example, vitamin B1 deficiency (beriberi) manifests as damage to most peripheral nerves, and vitamin B12 deficiency can cause subacute combined degeneration.

Through the above introduction, we have a good understanding of the manifestations of neurological diseases. Therefore, when treating such diseases, we must choose the correct method. Psychological treatment is very important. This treatment method can greatly improve the patient's disease and prevent the patient's condition from worsening.
