Progressive apoplexy is a type of hereditary dystrophy of myoclonatic motor neurons, characterized by multiple pathological foci spreading from the brain throughout the nervous system, including the spinal cord. The patient may suffer from a variety of symptoms, which may include headaches, incoordination, seizures and muscle weakness.
Symptoms of progressive apoplexy can appear at different ages, but most often occur during the first decade of life. In most cases, patients suffer from genetic disorders associated with nerve cell genes. This can lead to complications such as decreased intellectual ability, seizures, and impaired muscle function.
Since progressive apoplexy cannot be completely cured, treatment is aimed at alleviating symptoms and improving the patient's quality of life. One of the most common treatments is physical therapy, which helps strengthen muscles and improve coordination. In some cases, drug therapy is also used to reduce seizures and manage symptoms. However, it is important to understand that progressive apoplexy is a complex disease, and in order to fully control its symptoms, regular consultations with a doctor and an individual approach to treatment are necessary.
