Remaka Syndrome

Remak syndrome Description Remak syndrome is also called myelin sclerosis. It develops in people after 40 years of age. The disease is characterized by changes in the membrane of the spinal cord and brain due to the replacement of its healthy areas with connective tissue. The result is damage to nerve fibers and, as a consequence, disruption of the functions of other organs.

Remak syndrome has various causes. The exact mechanism of development of the disease is still unknown, but the influence of hereditary factors, metabolic disorders in the body, intoxication, infections, tumors, exposure to radiation and neurotropic drugs is assumed.

Based on its manifestations, Remak syndrome may not be so easily confused with other neurological diseases. It is characterized by the following signs:

1. Fatigue, 2. Uniform night cramps in the legs, 3. Onychodystrophy, 4. Sensitivity disorder in the legs, 5. Weakness of the pronators of the forearm and hand, 6. The limbs gradually weaken, and then paralysis occurs.

Clinical manifestations of Remak syndrome may vary at different stages of the disease. Early symptoms often include mild paresis, skin sensitivity disorders, hyperhidrosis of the feet and hands. The further the disease develops, the brighter the symptoms of remak syndrome. Ptosis

Remak syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive hereditary disease. A congenital malformation of cerebral structures, characterized by delayed myelination of brain pathways. A similar **disease is called “tuberous sclerosis” (infantile tuberous idiocy).** Genetic disorders that cause the syndrome
