Automatism Heterotopic Active

Heterotopic automatism is a disease that manifests itself in dysregulation of the motility of internal organs. It is caused by various reasons: infections, injuries, physiological and psychological factors. As a result, coordination of movements and their functional significance are disrupted. If the disease is diagnosed late, it can lead to serious complications and disruptions in the functioning of all body systems.

Heterotopic active automatisms are often observed in young children and are caused by vitamin B6 deficiency. Alcohol and drug abuse can also lead to the development of this disease, and it becomes progressive.

Symptoms of heterotopic active automaticity depend on the type and severity of the disease. One of the most common manifestations is vomiting, which can be caused by motion sickness, increased anxiety or alcohol consumption. Other symptoms may include dizziness, weakness, difficulty speaking and confusion.

Various methods are used to treat heterotopic active automatisms: diet, medications, physical therapy and behavioral therapy. The diet may include increasing your intake of vitamins and minerals and avoiding alcohol and drugs. Medicines help normalize the functioning of the nervous system and accelerate the recovery of affected functions. Physical therapy includes exercises for coordination, fine motor skills, and muscle strengthening. Behavioral therapies help manage the stress, anxiety, and depression that can cause heterotopias.



Heterotopic active automatisms (HAAs) are congenital disorders of the nervous system that manifest themselves in inappropriate movements, muscle contractions and even cramps, as well as changes in posture, seizures and numbness in certain parts of the body (migraine).
