|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 외부에서 기원하는 물리적 충격으로 인해 뇌의 물리적 손상없이 일어나는 뇌의 기능 장애. 일시적으로 무의식, 반사소실, 등이 나타나지만 결국은 아무 후유증없이 정상으로 돌아온다. |

| 영문 | cerebral cortex | 한글 | 대뇌겉질 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 대뇌의 표면부위를 대뇌겉질이라고도 한다. 대개 얕은회색질(superficial gray matter)와 동의어로 쓰인다. 회색질이란 대뇌의 표면에 신경세포가 모여있는 곳으로 회색을 띠는 부분을 말한다. 이와는 대조적으로 백색질이란 신경세포가 내는 신경섬유가 분포하는 곳이며 대뇌에서 회색질의 안쪽에 존재한다. 참고로 말하면 척수에서는 대뇌와 반대로 회색질 안쪽에 존재하고 백색질이 밖에 존재한다. 즉 척수에서는 신경세포가 척수의 안쪽에 존재하고 바깥쪽에 그 신경세포가 내는 신경섬유가 존재한다. |

| 영문 | cerebral artery | 한글 | 대뇌동맥 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 대뇌의 혈액을 공급하는 동맥. 대뇌의 앞부분의 혈액을 공급하는 앞대뇌동맥(anterior cerebral artery), 중간부위의 혈액을 공급하는 중간대뇌동맥(middle cerebral artery), 뒷부분의 혈액을 공급하는 뒤대뇌동맥(posterior cererbral artery)의 세 가지가 있다. 대뇌는 크게 두 가지 동맥에 의해서 혈액을 공급받는다. 하나는 속목동맥(internal carotid artery)이고 하나는 척추동맥(vertebral artery)이다. 이 동맥들은 좌-우로 두 개씩 쌍을 이루어 뇌에 혈액을 공급한다. 척추동맥은 대동맥에서 나와서 목뼈에 있는 가로돌기구멍을 통해서 머리쪽으로 올라온다. 그리고는 두 개의 좌우 척추가 한 개로 합쳐져서 바닥동맥라는 동맥을 이룬다. 목동맥은 대동맥에서 기시하여 속목동맥과 바깥목동맥으로 나뉜다(나뉘기 이전을 온목동맥이라 한다). 바깥목동맥은 얼굴과 뇌를 제외한 머리의 부위에 혈액을 공급하는 혈관이고, 속목동맥은 뇌에 혈액을 공급한다.   |

| 영문 | cerebral hemisphere | 한글 | 대뇌반구 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 대뇌란 뇌의 가장 큰 부분을 차지하는 곳으로 사고, 운동, 성격, 기억 등의 고차원적인 기능을 행하는 곳이다. 대뇌는 크게 좌, 우 두 개로 나뉘어져 있고 각각을 좌, 우 대뇌반구라고 한다. |

| scrivener's palsy | A dystonia that affects the muscles of the hand and sometimes the forearm and only occurs during handwriting. Similar focal dystonias have also been called typist's cramp, pianist's cramp, musician's cramp, and golfer's cramp. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| supranuclear palsy, progressive | A progressive neurological disease usually of the fifth decade characterised by supranuclear ophthalmoplegia especially paralysis of downward gaze, pseudobulbar palsy, gait disturbance, dysathria, truncal dystonia, memory and personality deterioration, and dementia. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Dejerine-Klumpke palsy | A type of brachial birth palsy in which there is paralysis of the muscles of the distal forearm and hand (all ulnar innervated muscles, plus more distal radial and median-innervated muscles), due to a lesion of the lower trunk of the brachial plexus, or of the C8 and T1 cervical roots. Synonym: Dejerine-Klumpke palsy, Dejerine-Klumpke syndrome, Klumpke's paralysis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| diver's palsy | A disorder characterised by joint pains, respiratory manifestations, skin lesions, and neurologic signs, occurring in aviators flying at high altitudes and following rapid reduction of air pressure in persons who have been breathing compressed air in caissons and diving apparatus. (12 Dec 1998) |
| obstetrical palsy | A brachial plexus lesion sustained by the infant during the birthing process; three types are recognised: 1) upper plexus type, affects the shoulder and upper arm (Erb palsy); 2) total plexus type, involves the whole arm; 3) lower plexus type, involves the forearm and hand (Klumpke palsy). Synonym: obstetrical paralysis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| trembling palsy | <neurology> A group of neurological disorders characterised by hypokinesia, tremor and muscular rigidity. (18 Nov 1997) |
| Erb palsy | A type of brachial birth palsy in which there is paralysis of the muscles of the upper arm and shoulder girdle (deltoid, biceps, brachialis, and brachioradialis muscles) due to a lesion of the upper trunk of the brachial plexus or of the roots of the fifth and sixth cervical roots. Synonym: Duchenne-Erb paralysis, Erb paralysis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| facial palsy | <neurology> A condition that involves the facial nerve (VII cranial nerve) and results in the paralysis of one side of the face. Bell's (facial nerve palsy) can be differentiated from a central (stroke) deficit by the inability to raise the eyebrow on the affected side. (27 Sep 1997) |
| Klumpke palsy | A type of brachial birth palsy in which there is paralysis of the muscles of the distal forearm and hand (all ulnar innervated muscles, plus more distal radial and median-innervated muscles), due to a lesion of the lower trunk of the brachial plexus, or of the C8 and T1 cervical roots. Synonym: Dejerine-Klumpke palsy, Dejerine-Klumpke syndrome, Klumpke's paralysis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lead palsy | Paralysis of the extensor muscles of the wrist causing wrist-drop; occurs in lead poisoning. Synonym: lead paralysis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| paraparesis, tropical spastic | Subacute paralytic myeloneuropathy occurring endemically in tropical areas such as the caribbean, colombia, india, and africa, as well as in the southwestern region of japan; associated with infection by type I human lymphotropic retrovirus (HTLV-I). Toxic nutritional factors have largely been ruled out as the cause of this syndrome, the primary clinical feature of which is progressive weakness of the legs and lower body. (12 Dec 1998) |
| colitis, spastic | See Colitis, mucus. (12 Dec 1998) |
| congenital spastic paraplegia | A spastic paralysis of the lower extremities occurring in the infant. Synonym: infantile spastic paraplegia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pseuodoparalysis, spastic | Better known as creutzfeldt-jakob disease. A dementing disease of the brain. It is believed due to an unconventional (not a bacteria or virus), transmissible agent called a prion. Symptoms of cjd include forgetfulness, nervousness, jerky trembling hand movements, unsteady gait, muscle spasms, chronic dementia, balance disorder, and loss of facial expression. Cjd is classified as a spongiform encephalopathy. most cases occur randomly (sporadically), but inherited forms exist. There is neither treatment nor cure for cjd. Other names for cjd include creutzfeldt-jakob syndrome and jakob-creutzfeldt disease. (12 Dec 1998) |
| spastic | 1. Of the nature of or characterised by spasms. 2. Hypertonic, so that the muscles are stiff and the movements awkward. 3. A person exhibiting spasticity, such as occurs in spastic paralysis or in cerebral palsy. Origin: Gr. Spastikos (13 Nov 1997) |
