Brain Disease

Brain Disease

• Pituitary Hyperthyroidism: Overproduction of thyroid hormones due to pituitary gland dysfunction

• Pituitary Hypothyroidism: Underproduction of thyroid hormones due to pituitary gland dysfunction

• Cushing's Disease: A condition caused by excess cortisol production from the pituitary gland, characterized by hypertension and central obesity

• Secondary Addison's Disease: Secondary adrenal insufficiency caused by inadequate ACTH production from the pituitary gland

• Alzheimer's Disease: A progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by memory loss and cognitive decline, classified as early-onset or late-onset

• Dementia with Lewy Bodies: A type of dementia characterized by abnormal protein deposits in the brain, including typical presentation and Parkinson's disease-related variants

• Frontotemporal Dementia: A group of disorders characterized by progressive nerve cell loss in the frontal and temporal lobes, including behavioral variant and primary progressive aphasia (PPA)

• Parkinson's Disease: A progressive disorder of the nervous system affecting movement, with tremor-dominant or bradykinesia-rigidity dominant subtypes

• Huntington's Disease: An inherited disorder causing progressive breakdown of nerve cells in the brain, with adult-onset or juvenile-onset forms

• Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS): A progressive neurodegenerative disease affecting motor neurons, occurring as sporadic or familial forms

• Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD): A developmental disorder affecting communication and behavior, with or without accompanying language or intellectual disabilities

• Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD): A neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, or combined presentation

• Major Depressive Disorder (MDD): A mood disorder characterized by persistent sadness and loss of interest, including melancholic and atypical subtypes

• Bipolar Disorder: A mood disorder characterized by episodes of mania and depression, classified as Bipolar I or Bipolar II

• Schizophrenia: A chronic mental disorder characterized by distortions in thinking and perception, with positive symptoms (hallucinations, delusions) or negative symptoms (flat affect, social withdrawal)

• Ischemic Stroke: A stroke caused by blockage of blood flow to the brain, including cerebral thrombosis or cerebral embolism

• Hemorrhagic Stroke: A stroke caused by bleeding in the brain, including intracerebral hemorrhage or subarachnoid hemorrhage

• Focal Seizure: Seizures originating in one area of the brain, with awareness maintained (simple) or impaired (complex)

• Generalized Seizure: Seizures involving both sides of the brain from the onset, including tonic-clonic seizures or absence seizures

• Multiple Sclerosis (MS): An autoimmune disease affecting the central nervous system, including relapsing-remitting or progressive forms

• Meningitis: Inflammation of the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord, caused by bacterial or viral infection

• Encephalitis: Inflammation of the brain tissue, caused by viral infection or autoimmune processes
