Central nervous system disease
Central nervous system diseases or central nervous system disorders are a group of neurological disorders that affect the structure or function of the brain or spinal cord, which collectively form the central nervous system (CNS). These disorders may be caused by such things as infection, injury, blood clots, age related degeneration, cancer, autoimmune disfunction, and birth defects. The symptoms vary widely, as do the treatments.
Central nervous system tumors are the most common forms of pediatric cancer.[citation needed] Brain tumors are the most frequent and have the highest mortality.[citation needed]
Some disorders, such as substance addiction, autism, and ADHD may be regarded as CNS disorders, though the classifications are not without dispute.
Every disease has different signs and symptoms. Some of them are persistent headache; pain in the face, back, arms, or legs; an inability to concentrate; loss of feeling; memory loss; loss of muscle strength; tremors; seizures; increased reflexes, spasticity, tics; paralysis; and slurred speech. One should seek medical attention if affected by these.[citation needed]
Any type of traumatic brain injury (TBI) or injury done to the spinal cord can result in a wide spectrum of disabilities in a person. Depending on the section of the brain or spinal cord that experiences the trauma, the outcome may be anticipated.
Infectious diseases are transmitted in several ways. Some of these infections may affect the brain or spinal cord directly. Generally, an infection is a disease that is caused by the invasion of a microorganism or virus. Bacterial organisms are most often the cause, but animal parasites and fungi can also cause the infection.
Degenerative spinal disorders involve a loss of function in the spine. Pressure on the spinal cord and nerves may be associated with herniation or disc displacement. Degenerative spinal disorders can be primarily caused by the natural aging process and wear and tear of the spine over time. However, other factors can accelerate or contribute to these conditions, such as injury, repetitive strain, genetics, and tumors. Brain degeneration also causes central nervous system diseases (i.e. Alzheimer's, Lewy body dementia, Parkinson's, and Huntington's diseases).[citation needed] Raji et al 2010 reported correlation between obesity and brain degeneration and tissue loss.
Common structural defects include birth defects, anencephaly, and spina bifida. Children born with structural defects may have malformed limbs, heart problems, and facial abnormalities.
