| paraneoplastic | Relating to or characteristic of paraneoplasia. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| paraneoplastic acrokeratosis | <syndrome> Erythematous to plum-coloured scaly acral skin lesions, paronychia, and nail dysplasia; associated with cancer of the upper respiratory or upper alimentary tract. Synonym: paraneoplastic acrokeratosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| paraneoplastic encephalomyelopathy | An encephalomyelopathy as a remote effect of carcinoma, most often oat cell carcinoma of the lung; characterised by extensive nerve cell loss, which may be diffuse, but often predominates in particular portions of the central nervous system, particularly the limbic lobes, medulla, cerebellum, and gray matter of the spinal cord. Synonym: carcinomatous encephalomyelopathy, encephalomyelitis associated with carcinoma, paracarcinomatous encephalomyelopathy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| paraneoplastic syndrome | <oncology, syndrome> A collection of symptoms or clinical signs that are found in patients that have malignant disease. By definition, the signs and symptoms are not produced by a direct effect of a tumour or its metastasis nor due to direct invasion, compression, metastasis, infection, nutritional deficiency or treatment of the underlying neoplasm. Paraneoplastic syndromes can arise from tumour produced biologically active polypeptides or proteins, autoimmunity or immune complex production and immune suppression, blockade of the normal effect of a hormone, the release of substances from tumour associated endothelium which are not normally released and finally unknown causes. The best characterised paraneoplastic syndrome is the syndrome of inappropriate ADH. (15 Dec 1997) |
| paraneoplastic syndromes | In patients with neoplastic diseases a wide variety of clinical pictures which are indirect and usually remote effects produced by tumour cell metabolites or other products. (12 Dec 1998) |
| acute demyelinating polyneuropathy | <neurology> A neurologic condition. Synonym: Guillain-Barre syndrome. Origin: Gr. Pathos = disease (27 Sep 1997) |
| acute inflammatory polyneuropathy | <neurology, syndrome> Acute infective polyneuritis that results in a form of peripheral neuropathy with temporary loss of movement and sensation due to inflammation of multiple nerves and loss of myelin. The exact cause is unknown but has been associated with an abnormal immune response to viral infection, particularly cytomegalovirus infection, in which there is cell-mediated immunity to a component of myelin. The disease may be autoimmune in origin and complete recovery can take up to six months. Synonym: Guillain-Barre syndrome (12 Jul 2000) |
| alcoholic polyneuropathy | <neurology> A disorder that occurs secondary to the damage to nerve cells from habitual alcohol abuse. The effects of alcoholic polyneuropathy may be due in part to the direct toxic effect alcohol has on nervous tissue in combination with specific nutritional deficiencies (for example B1 or thiamin deficiency and B12 deficiency). Common symptoms include sensory changes, numbness, tingling, muscle weakness, muscle cramps, heat intolerance, impotence, difficulty urinating, swallowing difficulty, speech impairment, diarrhoea and constipation. Origin: Gr. Pathos = disease (27 Sep 1997) |
| arsenical polyneuropathy | An axon loss polyneuropathy that results from subacute or chronic arsenic poisoning; almost always preceded by gastrointestinal symptoms; one of the heavy metal neuropathies. (05 Mar 2000) |
| axonal polyneuropathy | A type of polyneuropathy in which axon degeneration is the sole/predominant feature; many aetiologies, particularly toxic and metabolic; on nerve conduction studies, affects amplitudes of the responses, but does not cause conduction slowing or block. Synonym: axonal polyneuropathy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| axon loss polyneuropathy | A type of polyneuropathy in which axon degeneration is the sole/predominant feature; many aetiologies, particularly toxic and metabolic; on nerve conduction studies, affects amplitudes of the responses, but does not cause conduction slowing or block. Synonym: axonal polyneuropathy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| buckthorn polyneuropathy | Ascending polyneuropathy resulting from ingestion of the fruit of Karwinskia humboldtiana. (05 Mar 2000) |
| chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy | An uncommon, acquired, demyelinating sensorimotor polyneuropathy, clinically characterised by insidious onset, and slow evolution, (either steady progression or stepwise), and chronic course; symmetrical weakness is a predominant symptom, often involving proximal leg muscles, accompanied by paresthesias, but not pain; CSF examination shows elevated protein, while electrodiagnostic studies reveal evidence of a demyelinating process, primarily conduction slowing rather than block; sometimes responds to prednisone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| chronic inflammatory polyneuropathy | <neurology, pathology> A disorder that involves the slow progressive (or recurrent) inflammation of multiple nerves. Loss of movement and sensation are common findings. The exact cause is related to an abnormal immune response. The acute form of this illness is known as Guillain-Barre syndrome. Treatment often includes systemic corticosteroids or chemotherapeutic agents to suppress the immune system. Prognosis is variable. Origin: Gr. Pathos = disease (27 Sep 1997) |
| polyneuropathy | <neurology> A disease process involving a number of peripheral nerves. Origin: Gr. Pathos = disease (14 Oct 1997) |
Synonyms : Paraneoplastic Neuropathy, Neuropathies, Paraneoplastic, Neuropathies, Paraneoplastic Peripheral, Neuropathy, Paraneoplastic Peripheral, Paraneoplastic Neuropathies, Paraneoplastic Peripheral Neuropathies, Paraneoplastic Polyneuropathies
| paraneoplastic polyneuropathy |
a paraneoplastic syndrome, sometimes seen with carcinoma, multiple myeloma, or Hodgkin's disease, consisting of polyneuropathy with sensory or sensorimotor symptoms. Cf. carcinomatous pericarditis Called also paraneoplastic neuropathy.
