Myelophthisis is a pathological condition in which the function of myelin, a fat-like substance that covers the sheath of nerves, is impaired. This leads to a deterioration in the conduction of nerve impulses and disruption of the nervous system. As a result, symptoms such as weakness, numbness, tingling in the arms and legs, impaired coordination of movements, and deterioration of memory and attention occur.
The causes of myeloptasia can be various, including infections, toxins, tumor processes, trauma, systemic diseases, autoimmune disorders, metabolic changes, etc. Damage to the myelin sheath can lead to the development of various diseases, such as Guillain-Barre syndrome, multiple sclerosis, leprosy, bacterial endocarditis and others.
If you suspect myeloptysis, you should seek medical help. The doctor will examine the patient and determine the cause of the disease. Treatment for myeloptia may include medication, surgery, physical therapy, rehabilitation, and other methods. It is important to remember that myelopthisia can be caused by many factors, and treatment should be aimed at eliminating the underlying cause of the disease.
Myeloparesis is a general concept that includes many diseases. In this context, "myelopare" refers to cerebrospinal fluid lesions in the brain and spinal cord.
Myelopathy is usually characterized by symptoms of progressive weakness in various parts of the body. Weakness begins in the legs, then moves to the arms, and then to the torso. The leg is more noticeably damaged than the arm.
Spinal myelopathy appears gradually over several months or years. Damage can occur either throughout the spinal cord or only in certain areas, resulting in symptoms or disability. If left untreated, myelasis symptoms often become more severe and tend to become chronic and disabling.
Myelopthyses are syndromes of damage to the spinal cord and its roots. The peculiarity of such syndromes is not a gross disruption of the conduction of impulses along nerve fibers, but their extinction. Clinically, this manifests itself as weakness in the legs, moderate loss of sensation, or paresthesia in the lumbar or sacral region. The difficulty in diagnosing myelopathy is that the lesion can be completely separate from the symptoms. But in any case, after the cause is identified, adequate therapy is prescribed.
Among the main causes of myelitis, infectious diseases should be noted: syphilis, polio, tetanus. For example, during the polio epidemic in children, polyradiculopathies were common when peripheral nerves were affected. In addition, myelpathy can occur due to problems with the spine, lack of vitamins, metabolic disorders, and allergies. The disease also develops due to lead or mercury intoxication. Of the autoimmune diseases, the most common cause of spinal injury is vasculitis. Myelopathy in young people occurs after spinal injuries.
