  • Bilirubin encephalopathy

    Kernicterus is a rare neurological disorder characterized by excessive levels of bilirubin in the blood (hyperbilirubinemia) during infancy. Bilirubin is an orange-yellow bile pigment that is a byproduct of the natural breakdown of hemoglobin in red blood cells (hemolysis). Toxic levels of bilirubin may accumulate in the brain, potentially resulting in a variety of symptoms and physical findings. These symptoms may include lack of energy (leth  Read More

  • Botulism

    Foodborne botulism Signs and symptoms of foodborne botulism typically begin between 12 and 36 hours after the toxin gets into your body. But, depending on how much toxin was consumed, the start of symptoms may range from a few hours to a few days. Signs and symptoms of foodborne botulism include: Difficulty swallowing or speaking Dry mouth Facial weakness on both sides of the face Blurred  Read More

  • Brain aneurysm(cerebral aneurysm)

    A brain aneurysm(cerebral aneurysm) is a dilation along the arterial circulation within the brain. About 85% of the dilations occur in the anterior circulation, which supplies blood to the anterior parts of the brain. The causes include: hemodynamic stress on the internal elastic lamina, vibrations from the turbulence of blood flow, and T-lymphocytes and macrophages mediated inflammation. Patients with advanced age, hypertensi  Read More

  • Brain tumors, general

    A brain tumor, general, is the mass growth of abnormal cells in the brain. There are different types of brain tumors, some are noncancerous (benign), and some brain tumors are cancerous (malignant). This can begin in the brain or some type of cancer begins in other parts of the body and spreads to the brain. The treatment of brain tumors depends on the location, size and type of tumor. 1.

  • Globoid cell leukoencephalopathy

    An uncommon genetic degenerative illness of the central and peripheral nervous systems is known as globoid cell leukoencephalopathy. It is distinguished by the presence of globoid cells (cells with many nuclei), the breakdown of the myelin sheath that protects nerves, and the death of brain cells. These illnesses result in a severe decline in mental and motor abilities and affect the formation or development of th  Read More

  • Hirschsprung's disease

    Signs and symptoms of Hirschsprung's disease vary with the severity of the condition. Usually signs and symptoms appear shortly after birth, but sometimes they're not apparent until later in life.

Other signs and symptoms in newborns may include: Swollen belly Vomiting, including vomiting a gree  Read More

  • Holocarboxylase synthetase deficiency

    When a person has holocarboxylase synthetase deficiency, their body is unable to metabolize proteins and carbs. Biotin is a vitamin that aids in the body's conversion of specific carbs and proteins into energy; however, people with this illness have difficulty utilizing it. Because it can result in a dangerous accumulation of organic acids and toxins in the body, holocarboxylase synthetase deficiency is regarded as an organic  Read More
