Thalamocenecular Artery Syndrome

Thalamocenecular artery syndrome (syndromum arteriae thalamogeniculatae) is a neurological disease caused by impaired blood supply to the thalamogeniculate artery of the brain.

Main symptoms:

1. Hemiparesis or hemiplegia (one-sided paralysis) on the side of the body opposite the lesion.

2. Sensory disturbances (hypesthesia, hyperesthesia) on the affected side.

3. Visual impairment (hemianopsia).

4. Speech disorders (dysarthria, aphasia).

5. Dizziness, headache.

6. Cognitive impairment.

Causes of the syndrome: atherosclerosis, thrombosis, embolism of the thalamogenicular artery. Risk factors are arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, smoking.

Diagnosis is based on a neurological examination, MRI/CT of the brain. Treatment: restoration of blood flow (thrombolysis), medications, physiotherapy. The prognosis depends on the degree of brain damage.

Thalamo-knee artery syndrome (ataxia-telangiectasia, AT) is a rare hereditary disease that occurs as a result of mutation of the ATM gene in germ cells (gametes), causing genetic changes in paired tumor genes, which leads to disruption of the functioning of the immune system.

An unborn fetus is aborted if the mutant gene is either absent or inactive when passed on through inheritance. The syndrome manifests itself in children in various forms: * Congenital AT syndrome includes about 30% of all cases of the disease. * In women, the syndrome may occur before the birth of the child. The fetus is forced to grow in conditions of low oxygen levels due to pathology of the uterus. Congenital AT occurs at all ages, from birth to 18 years. The earlier the disease
