Nervous System Disorders Their Signs and Symptoms, Treatment - Mahavir Hi Tech Hospital

Nervous System Disorders Their Signs and Symptoms, Treatment - Mahavir Hi-Tech Hospital PVT. LTD

 

The nervous system is the most complex, sophisticated system that manages and coordinates whole body activities.Brain and nervous system disorders are common which can be treated at some best hospital in Patna. Some neurological disorders are multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, epilepsy, and stroke that can affect memory and skills of performing daily activities. The nervous system consists of two major divisions that are:-

·         Central nervous system. This part comprises of the brain and spinal cord.

·         Peripheral nervous system. This part comprises of all other neural elements- the peripheral nerves and the autonomic nerves.

What is Causes for nervous system disorders?

The nervous system can be easily affected to various disorders. Some of the causes of disordersbe damaged by the following:

• Trauma
• Infections
• Degeneration
• Structural defects
• Tumors
• Blood flow disruption
• Autoimmune disorders

Some disorders of the nervous system are:

• Vascular disorders- some disorders under this are- stroke, transient ischemic attack (TIA), subarachnoid hemorrhage, subdural hemorrhage and hematoma, and extradural hemorrhage
• Infections- for example, meningitis, encephalitis, polio, and epidural abscess
• Structural disorders- for example, brain or spinal cord injury, Bell's palsy, cervical spondylosis, carpal tunnel syndrome, brain or spinal cord tumors, peripheral neuropathy, and Guillain-Barre syndrome
• Functional disorders- for example, headache, epilepsy, dizziness, and neuralgia
• Degeneration- for example, Parkinson disease, multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Huntington chorea, and Alzheimer disease

                        

Symptoms of Neurological disorders

Some symptoms that occur which can vary because of the underlying disease, disorder, or condition.

Body-wide symptoms

·         Altered smell or taste

·         Burning feeling

·         Confusion or cognitive changes

·         Fainting or change in your level of consciousness

·         Involuntary muscle contractions (dystonia)

·         Loss of balance

·         Numbness

·         Paralysis or inability to move a body part

·         Pins-and-needles (prickling) sensation

·         Sensitivity

·         Tingling

Gastrointestinal symptoms

·         Difficulty chewing

·         Digestive problems

·         Loss of bladder or bowel control

·         Nausea with or without vomiting

Life-threatening conditions

·         Abnormal pupil size or non-reactivity to light

·         Change in level of consciousness or alertness

·         Difficulty swallowing

·         Garbled or slurred speech or inability to speak

·         Loss of muscle coordination

·         Breathing problems, such as shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, labored breathing, wheezing, choking

·         Seizures

·         Sudden paralysis or inability to move a body part

·         Vision changes or sudden blindness

 

HOW PERFORMED DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING FOR  NEURO BRAIN

Neurologists and other neuroscience specialists of Patna use special tests and imaging techniques to monitor the working of nerves and brain.

Along with blood and urine tests, some other tests performed are:-

·         Computed tomography (CT scan)

·         Lumbar puncture (spinal tap)

·         Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or magnetic resonance angiography (MRA)

·         Electroencephalography (EEG)

·         Electromyography (EMG)

·         Electronystagmography (ENG)

·         Evoked potentials (or evoked response)

·         Magnetoencephalography (MEG)

·         Myelogram of the spine to diagnose nerve injury

·         Nerve conduction velocity (NCV) test

·         Neurocognitive testing (neuropsychological testing)

·         Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and positron emission tomography (PET) scan

·         Biopsy of the brain, nerve, skin, or muscle to check damages with the nervous system

 TREATMENT FOR NEURO DISORDERS

Some treatment procedures are as follow:-

·         To treat blood vessel disorders like strokes that can affect the nervous system a technique is used in which a tiny, flexible tubes called catheters is inserted into blood vessels leading to the brain.

• Balloon angioplasty and stenting of carotid or vertebral artery
• Endovascular embolization and coiling to treat cerebral aneurysms
• Intra-arterial therapy for the treatment of strokes
• Radiation oncology of the brain and spine
• Needle biopsies, spine and soft tissues
• Kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty for treatment of vertebral fractures

·        Surgery called a craniotomy is open or traditional neurosurgery that is needed in some severe cases to treat issues in the brain.

·         Microsurgery is done on very small structures in the brain using a microscope with very small, precise instruments.

·       Stereotactic radiosurgery focuses on high-powered x-rays to a small area of the body, to avoid damage to surrounding brain tissue.

• Medicines, possibly given by a drug pumps (such as those used for people with severe muscle spasms)
• Deep brain stimulation
• Spinal cord stimulation
• Rehabilitation/physical therapy after brain injury or stroke
• Spinal surgery

Though nervous system is very critical and vulnerable to diseases the best neurologist of Patna are well experienced and practiced to treat them. It is very important to look after the health of nervous system as it monitors all the body activities.
