Generally, diseases outlined within the ICD-10 codes G10-G13 within Chapter VI: Diseases of the nervous system should be included in this category. Subcategories This category has the following 4 subcategories, out of 4 total.
Cerebral atrophy is a common feature of many of the diseases that affect the brain. [1] Atrophy of any tissue means a decrement in the size of the cell, which can be due to progressive loss of cytoplasmic proteins. In brain tissue, atrophy describes a loss of neurons and the connections between them.
This gene provides instructions for making calcium/calmodulin dependent serine protein kinase (CASK), a protein that is essential for brain function. CASK, being a multidomain protein, is found to interact with multiple molecules including neurexin, [ 10 ] syndecan [ 11 ] and Mint1, [ 12 ] playing an important synaptic function, and also ...
Specific types of leukodystrophy include the following with their respective ICD-10 codes when available: [citation needed] (E75.2) Alexander disease (E75.2) Canavan disease (E75.2) Hypomyelinating leukodystrophy type 7 (4H syndrome) (E75.2) Krabbe disease (E75.2) Metachromatic leukodystrophy (E75.2) Pelizaeus–Merzbacher disease
Brain atrophy from vascular dementia: Specialty: Psychiatry, neurology Symptoms: Cognitive impairment, short-term memory loss [3] Complications: Heart disease, loss of ability to care for self and interact, pneumonia [4] Causes: Conditions that impair blood vessels in the brain and therefore interfere with oxygen delivery to the brain [3] Risk ...
Subdural hygromas require two conditions in order to occur. First, there must be a separation in the layers of the Meninges of the brain. Second, the resulting subdural space that occurs from the separation of layers must remain uncompressed in order for CSF to accumulate in the subdural space, resulting in the hygroma. [1]
Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a rare neurodegenerative disorder [1] characterized by tremors, slow movement, muscle rigidity, postural instability (collectively known as parkinsonism), autonomic dysfunction and ataxia.
Hypoplasia predominates at the lower part of the pons. Vermis hypoplasia is very variable, severe in patient 13, very slight in patient 10-11-12 and also predominates at the inferior part. B. Coronal images showing varying degrees of cerebellar hemispheric (one of two halves of a part of the brain) hypoplasia. Hemispheres are frequently asymmetric.
