Myelosis Funicular: Symptoms, Diagnosis and Treatment
Funicular myelosis, also known as combined sclerosis, is a rare disease of the central nervous system. It is a neurovascular disease that affects the cerebellum, cervical and thoracic spinal cord. It is characterized by degeneration of the posterior columns of the spinal cord, which leads to problems with motor coordination and sensation.
Symptoms of myelosis funicularis may include changes in walking such as unsteadiness and unsteadiness, sensory changes such as numbness and tingling in the arms and legs, and problems with urination and bowel movements. At the same time, the signs of the disease may manifest differently in each patient, which complicates diagnosis.
Various testing methods are used to diagnose funicular myelosis, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), electromyography (EMG), and neurological tests. Doctors may also do blood and urine tests to rule out other possible causes of symptoms.
Treatment for funicular myelosis is aimed at managing symptoms and slowing the progression of the disease. In some cases, medications such as B vitamins, antidepressants and drugs to improve cerebral circulation may be prescribed. In more severe cases, physical therapy and rehabilitation may be required.
Although funicular myelosis is a rare disease, its diagnosis and treatment should be carried out by competent specialists. If you suspect that you have this disease, contact a neurologist to conduct the necessary tests and receive appropriate treatment.
Myelosis FUNICULAR
Funcular myelosis includes several diseases. Funicular sclerosis itself is more consistent with the concept of neurosclerosis, because it is most often connected not with the spinal cord, but with the cranial cord. What they have in common is the process of sclerosis at a certain level of white matter in the central nervous system. And if the first one is focal or diffuse, then the second one is diffuse (impregnation of all parts of the brain and spinal cord).
1) Neuropsychological syndrome in funicular syndrome. **Memory disorders.** Deeper variants of mnestic disorders in FS are Korsakoff psychosis and confabulosis. When the development of this syndrome does not lead to dementia, they speak of hysterical amnesia or a manifestation of traumatic dementia. The severity of mnestic disorders can vary - from almost imperceptible inclusions in speech to complete clouding of consciousness. Even at the beginning of the disease, a person can remember events that happened to him some time ago. Moreover, the memory is stored in sufficient detail and consistently. Quite quickly, a person becomes more and more lazy, it becomes difficult for him to remember and/or recall necessary events and
