Vein of Galen Malformation Neurological Disorders Print Format Many neurological problems occurring in children are congenital birth defects or conditions that emerge in the womb and are not conditions that develop in adults . For newborns and infants, a specialized team is required for the delicate operations of the brain, spine and other parts of the nervous system. Special tools and equipment are used to accommodate their small bodies and to monitor the precise doses of anesthesia and medications. For infants, blood loss during surgery is a serious concern. At UCSF Children's Hospital, we have the most comprehensive pediatric neurological surgery program in Northern California, treating the most complex disorders that can affect a child's brain and spinal cord. We are experts in treating conditions such as brain tumors cerebral palsy Chiari malformation epilepsy ... vein of Galen malformations and other spinal disorders. And we offer state-of-the-art treatment for craniofacial anomalies, which are abnormalities of the skull and face, and craniosynostosis, which is the premature closure of the skull's sutures or fibrous joints between the bones of the skull.
NINDS Aicardi Syndrome Information Page
Information sheet compiled by National Institute of neurological disorders and Stroke with general information, and a list of organisations.
http://www.ninds.nih.gov/health_and_medical/disorders/aicardi.htm

Extractions: Aicardi Syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by the partial or complete absence of the structure that links the two hemispheres of the brain, the corpus callosum . The disorder affects only girls. Onset of Aicardi Syndrome generally begins between the ages of 3 and 5 months with infantile spasms, a type of childhood seizure. Symptoms include seizures, mental retardation and lesions on the retina of the eye that are specific to the disorder. Aicardi Syndrome may be associated with other brain defects such as a smaller than average brain and cavities or gaps in the brain filled with cerebrospinal fluid. Is there any treatment?

NINDS Shingles Information Page
Information page compiled by NINDS, the National Institute of neurological disorders and Stroke.
http://www.ninds.nih.gov/health_and_medical/disorders/shingles_doc.htm

Extractions: Shingles is an infection caused by the varicella-zoster virus, which is the virus that causes chickenpox. Shingles occurs in people who have had chickenpox and represents a reactivation of the dormant varicella-zoster virus. The disease generally affects the elderly, although it occasionally occurs in younger and/or immunodeficient individuals. The first sign is usually a tingling feeling, itchiness, or stabbing pain on the skin. After a few days, a rash appears as a band or patch of raised dots on the side of the trunk or face. The rash develops into small, fluid-filled blisters which begin to dry out and crust over within several days. When the rash is at its peak, symptoms can range from mild itching to extreme and intense pain. Contact with a person with shingles may cause chickenpox (but not shingles) in someone who has never had chickenpox before.

NINDS Polymyositis Information Page
Information page compiled by NINDS, the National Institute of neurological disorders and Stroke.
http://www.ninds.nih.gov/health_and_medical/disorders/polymyos_doc.htm

Extractions: Polymyositis is an inflammatory muscle disease that causes varying degrees of decreased muscle power. The disease has a gradual onset and generally begins in the second decade of life. Polymyositis rarely affects persons under the age of 18. The most common symptom is muscle weakness, usually affecting those muscles that are closest to the trunk of the body (proximal). Eventually, patients have difficulty rising from a sitting position, climbing stairs, lifting objects, or reaching overhead. In some cases, distal muscles (those not close to the trunk of the body) may also be affected later in the course of the disease. Trouble with swallowing (dysphagia) may occur. Very rarely, the muscles ache and are tender to touch. The disease may be associated with other collagen vascular, autoimmune or infectious disorders
Neurological Disorder - Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia
neurological disorders are a group of disorders that involve the central nervous system (brain, brainstem and cerebellum), the peripheral nervous system
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurological_disorder

Extractions: Neurological disorders are a group of disorders that involve the central nervous system ( brain brainstem and cerebellum ), the peripheral nervous system (including cranial nerves ), and the autonomic nervous system (parts of which are located in both central and peripheral nervous system). Major branches are headache, stupor and coma dementia seizure sleep disorders ... neoplasms , neuroophthalmology, movement disorders, demyelinating diseases spinal cord disorders, and disorders of peripheral nerves, muscle and neuromuscular junctions. Many mental illnesses are believed to be neurological disorders of the central nervous system, but they are classified separately. They are not traditionally listed as neurological diseases because their causes are not definitely determined as biological, although there are good reasons to suspect that bipolar disorder and schizophrenia have neuro-chemical causes.

NINDS Myasthenia Gravis Information Page
A short information sheet compiled by NINDS, the National Institute of neurological disorders and Stroke.
http://www.ninds.nih.gov/health_and_medical/disorders/myasthenia_gravis.htm

Extractions: Myasthenia gravis can be controlled. Some medications improve neuromuscular transmission and increase muscle strength, and some suppress the production of abnormal antibodies. These medications must be used with careful medical followup because they may cause major side effects. Thymectomy, the surgical removal of the thymus gland, improves symptoms in certain patients and may cure some individuals, possibly by re-balancing the immune system. Other therapies include plasmapheresis, a procedure in which abnormal antibodies are removed from the blood, and high-dose intravenous immune globulin, which temporarily modifies the immune system and provides the body with normal antibodies from donated blood. What is the prognosis?

NINDS Cerebral Hypoxia Information Page
Information page compiled by the National Institute of neurological disorders and Stroke.
http://www.ninds.nih.gov/health_and_medical/disorders/anoxia_doc.htm

Extractions: Cerebral hypoxia refers to a condition in which there is a decrease of oxygen supply to the brain even though there is adequate blood flow. Drowning, strangling, choking, suffocation, cardiac arrest, head trauma, carbon monoxide poisoning, and complications of general anesthesia can create conditions that can lead to cerebral hypoxia. Symptoms of mild cerebral hypoxia include inattentiveness, poor judgment, memory loss, and a decrease in motor coordination. Brain cells are extremely sensitive to oxygen deprivation and can begin to die within five minutes after oxygen supply has been cut off. When hypoxia lasts for longer periods of time, it can cause coma, seizures, and even brain death. In brain death, basic life functions such as breathing, blood pressure, and cardiac function are preserved, but there is no consciousness or response to the world around.
Neurological Disorders And Treatments
Diagnosis and treatment of neurological diseases and disorders. neurological disorders are quite diverse, chronic, challenging to treat, and often disabling.
http://ucneurology.uchicago.edu/Neurological_Disorders/neurological_disorders.ht

Extractions: Neurological disorders are quite diverse, chronic, challenging to treat, and often disabling. They can be caused by many different factors, including (but not limited to): inherited genetic abnormalities, problems in the immune system, injury to the brain or nervous system, or diabetes. Most University of Chicago neurologists specialize in a particular disease or category of diseases. This focused specialization enables these physicians to become true experts in diagnosing and managing difficult neurological disorders. Many of these physicians conduct research in neuroimmunology, the unique relationship between the body's immune system and nervous system. Their research targets the cellular mechanisms which cause neurological functions to degenerate.

Pediatric Neurological Disorders
Physicians, medical students, and patients can get information about the diagnosis and treatment of neurological diseases and disorders.
http://ucneurology.uchicago.edu/Neurological_Disorders/Pediatric_Neuro_Disorders

Extractions: Neurological disorders affect children differently than they affect adults, and require care tailored to the child's developmental needs. Children with neurological problems benefit from the expertise of physicians who specialize in both neurology and pediatrics. At times, children are not eligible for clinical trials of new drug therapies. About Pediatric Neurological Disorders From infancy through adolescence, children can be affected with a variety of neurological problems. Among the most common disorders affecting children are epilepsy, cerebral palsy, brain tumors and muscular dystrophies. Pediatric neurologists at the University of Chicago Children's Hospital are experienced in diagnosing and treating children with these neurological disorders, as well as less common disorders such as neurofibromatosis and tuberous sclerosis. They also have expertise to treat conditions which generally occur in adults, but which sometimes affect children, such as myasthenia gravis and multiple sclerosis Cerebral Palsy Epilepsy in Children Multiple Sclerosis in Children Muscular Dystrophy in Children ... Myasthenia Gravis in Children
NINDS Chronic Pain Information Page
Information page compiled by National Institute of neurological disorders and Stroke.
http://www.ninds.nih.gov/health_and_medical/disorders/chronic_pain.htm

Extractions: While acute pain is a normal sensation triggered in the nervous system to alert you to possible injury and the need to take care of yourself, chronic pain is different. Chronic pain persists. Pain signals keep firing in the nervous system for weeks, months, even years. There may have been an initial mishap sprained back, serious infection, or there may be an ongoing cause of pain arthritis, cancer, ear infection, but some people suffer chronic pain in the absence of any past injury or evidence of body damage. Many chronic pain conditions affect older adults. Common chronic pain complaints include headache, low back pain, cancer pain, arthritis pain, neurogenic pain (pain resulting from damage to the peripheral nerves or to the central nervous system itself), psychogenic pain (pain not due to past disease or injury or any visible sign of damage inside or outside the nervous system).
