| encephalopathy | <neurology, pathology> Any degenerative disease of the brain. Origin: Gr. Pathos = disease (18 Nov 1997) |
|---|---|
| encephalopathy, bovine spongiform | Scrapie-like neurological disorder of cattle. The infection appears to be caused by the consumption of scrapie-infected ruminant-derived protein (prions). (12 Dec 1998) |
| alcoholic encephalopathy | <neurology> Encephalopathy associated with thiamin deficiency. Usually associated with chronic alcohol abuse. Other features include loss of memory and confabulation. Origin: Gr. Pathos = disease (27 Sep 1997) |
|---|---|
| bilirubin encephalopathy | <paediatrics> Disorder due to jaundice in a newborn baby with high blood levels of the pigment bilirubin that is deposited in the brain resulting in damage. The level of bilirubin is monitored in newborns to determine whether treatment is needed to prevent kernicterus. With brain affected, it is also called bilirubin encephalopathy. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Binswanger's encephalopathy | One of the causes of multiinfarct dementia, in which there are many infarcts and lacunes in the white matter, with relative sparing of the cortex and basal ganglia. Synonym: Binswanger's encephalopathy, encephalitis subcorticalis chronica, subcortical arteriosclerotic encephalopathy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bovine spongiform encephalopathy | A new disease of cattle, first reported in 1986 in Great Britain, characterised clinically by apprehensive behaviour, hyperesthesia, and ataxia and histopathologically by spongiform changes in the gray-matter neuropil of the brain stem; it is thought to be caused by an agent, possibly a prion, similar to that observed as the cause of scrapie. Synonym: mad cow disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| palindromic encephalopathy | A relatively mild form which tends to recur. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pancreatic encephalopathy | A metabolic encephalopathy associated with extensive pancreatic necrosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| recurrent encephalopathy | A progressive form of encephalopathy occurring in young members of the same family; characterised by headache, vertigo, truncal ataxia, drowsiness and stupor, speech impairments, choreic-athetoid movements, and sometimes convulsions. (05 Mar 2000) |
| metabolic encephalopathy | Encephalopathy characterised by memory loss, vertigo, and generalised weakness, due to metabolic brain disease including hypoxia, ischemia, hypoglycaemia, or secondary to other organ failure such as liver or kidney. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Wernicke-Korsakoff encephalopathy | See: Wernicke's syndrome, Korsakoff's syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Wernicke's encephalopathy | <neurology> Encephalopathy associated with thiamin deficiency. Usually associated with chronic alcohol abuse. Other features include loss of memory and confabulation. Origin: Gr. Pathos = disease (27 Sep 1997) |
| portal-systemic encephalopathy | An encephalopathy associated with cirrhosis of the liver, attributed to the passage of toxic nitrogenous substances from the portal to the systemic circulation; cerebral manifestations may include coma. Synonym: hepatic encephalopathy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| progressive subcortical encephalopathy | <radiology> Demyelinating disease due to papovavirus, seen in immunosuppressed hosts: lymphoma, leukaemia, AIDS, TB, sarcoidosis, organ transplant, most prominent in pareito-occipital white matter, NO contrast enhancement (12 Dec 1998) |
| hepatic encephalopathy | <neurology, pathology> A condition which is used to describe the deleterious effects of liver failure on the central nervous system. Features include confusion ranging to unresponsiveness (coma). A common cause is alcoholic cirrhosis. Treatment includes the binding and elimination of ammonia in the intestinal tract. General life support including respiratory support and cardiovascular support may also be required. See: encephalopathy for additional details. (27 Sep 1997) |
| saturnine encephalopathy | A metabolic encephalopathy, caused by the ingestion of lead compounds and seen particularly in early childhood; it is characterised pathologically by extensive cerebral oedema, status spongiosus, neurocytolysis, and some reactive inflammation; clinical manifestations include convulsions, delirium, and hallucinations. See: lead poisoning. Synonym: lead encephalitis, saturnine encephalopathy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| HIV encephalopathy | <immunology> A frequent cerebral condition in people with AIDS that results in the loss of cognitive capacity, affecting the ability to function in a social or occupational setting. Its cause has not been determined exactly, but may result from HIV infection of cells in the brain or an inflammatory reaction to such infection. (09 Oct 1997) |
