Nervous System Disorder List

Can you list me some Disorders of the Nervous System in a Human Body? Also tell me about the most Common Diseases and Disorders of the Nervous System in a Human Body?

[Pathak]

The nervous system is a complex, sophisticated system that regulates and coordinates body activities. It is made up of two major divisions, including the following:

Central nervous system: This consists of the brain and spinal cord.

Peripheral nervous system: This consists of all other neural elements, including the peripheral nerves and the autonomic nerves.

In addition to the brain and spinal cord, principal organs of the nervous system include the following:

Eyes
Ears
Sensory organs of taste
Sensory organs of smell
Sensory receptors located in the skin, joints, muscles, and other parts of the body

Some Disorders of the Nervous System

The nervous system is vulnerable to various disorders. It can be damaged by the following:
Trauma
Infections
Degeneration
Structural defects
Tumors
Blood flow disruption
Autoimmune disorders

The most common diseases and disorders of the nervous system:

Bell's Palsy
A form of Neuritis that involves paralysis of the facial nerve causing weakness of the muscles of one side of the face and an inability to close the eye

Cerebal Palsy
A nonprogressive disorder of movement resulting from damage to the brain before, during, or immediately after birth

Motor Neurone Disease
A progressive degenerative disease of the motor system occurring in middle age and causing muscle weakness and wasting

Multiple Sclerosis
A chronic disease of the nervous system that can affect young and middle-aged adults
The course of this illness usually involves recurrent relapses followed by remissions, but some patients experience a chronic progressive course.

Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME)
A condition characterized by extreme disabling fatigue that has lasted for at least six months, is made worse by physical or mental exertion, does not resolve with bed rest, and cannot be attributed to other disorders.

Neuritis
A disease of the peripheral nerves showing the pathological changes of inflammation
(This term may also be less precisely used to refer to any disease of the peripheral nerves, usually causing weakness and numbness.)

Parkinson's Disease
Degenerative disease process (associated with aging) that affects the basal ganglia of the brain.

Sciatica
A common condition arising from compression of, or damage to, a nerve or nerve root
