| BSE | Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy |
| demyelinating encephalopathy | Extensive idiopathic loss of myelin sheaths in the brain, as occurs in leukodystrophy. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|
| acute demyelinating polyneuropathy | <neurology> A neurologic condition. Synonym: Guillain-Barre syndrome. Origin: Gr. Pathos = disease (27 Sep 1997) |
|---|---|
| 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) |
| segmental demyelinating polyneuropathy | A type of polyneuropathy in which almost solely the peripheral nerve myelin is affected; can be both familial (e.g., Charcot-Marie Tooth disease, type 1), or acquired (e.g., Guillain-Barre syndrome); on motor nerve conduction studies, manifested as conduction slowing or block. Synonym: segmental demyelinating polyneuropathy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| demyelinating disease | Diseases in which the myelin sheath of nerves is destroyed and that often have an autoimmune component. Examples are multiple sclerosis, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (a complication of acute viral infection), experimental allergic encephalomyelitis, Guillain-Barre syndrome. (18 Nov 1997) |
| demyelinating diseases | Any condition characterised by the destruction of myelin and extensive loss of the myelin sheaths of the nerve fibres. It affects both the central and peripheral nervous systems. Its aetiology is at present unknown. (12 Dec 1998) |
| demyelinating polyneuropathy | A type of polyneuropathy in which almost solely the peripheral nerve myelin is affected; can be both familial (e.g., Charcot-Marie Tooth disease, type 1), or acquired (e.g., Guillain-Barre syndrome); on motor nerve conduction studies, manifested as conduction slowing or block. Synonym: segmental demyelinating polyneuropathy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| 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) |
| demyelinating encephalopathy |
any encephalopathy accompanied by demyelination; see Schilder's disease, under disease.
