Symptoms of neurodegenerative diseases

summary

Hereditary diseases of nervous system are caused by the changes of the quantity, structure or function of the genetic material of germ cells or fertilized eggs, which make the developing individuals appear the diseases with the main clinical manifestation of nervous system function defect. It is not only different from congenital heart disease caused by rubella virus infection in the mother, but also different from familial diseases caused by the same environmental factors, such as familial hypothyroidism, which are non hereditary. Let's understand the symptoms of neurodegenerative disease.

Symptoms of neurodegenerative diseases

First: common symptoms: mental retardation, dementia, behavioral abnormalities, language disorders, epileptic seizures, nystagmus, involuntary movement, ataxia, clumsiness, paralysis, increased muscle tone, muscle atrophy and sensory abnormalities, as well as facial abnormalities, facial deformities, spina bifida, arcuate feet, finger and toe deformities, abnormal skin and hair, hepatosplenomegaly, etc.

Second, with the development of medicine, the number of genetic diseases that can be treated is gradually increasing. For example, early diagnosis and timely treatment can alleviate or alleviate the symptoms. For example, patients with hepatolenticular degeneration are treated with copper chelating agent penicillamine to promote the elimination of copper in the body. Children with phenylketonuria are treated with low phenylalanine milk powder and phenylalanine aminotransferase, and other treatments such as neurotrophic drugs, diet therapy Enzyme replacement (such as mucopolysaccharide type I and type II), rehabilitation and surgical correction are effective.

Third: with the development of the disease, the symptoms and signs can be a kind of neurological genetic disease performance, can also be seen as a complication of the disease. Involuntary movement is a common symptom of hereditary diseases involving extrapyramidal system; Dance movements with decreased tension and increased movements; Hand and foot spasm and torsion spasm with irregular muscle tension; And myoclonus of rhythmic muscle contraction, such as myoclonic epilepsy pons cerebellar degeneration.
