Symptoms of demyelinating myelitis

summary

The neighbor's child was just a few years old, just the right age, but was tested to have acute disseminated encephalomyelitis. His parents were very anxious. They came to ask me if I knew anything about the disease. I was at a loss for a moment. Later, I consulted a professional doctor who told me a lot about acute disseminated encephalomyelitis. The manifestations of the disease are cerebral hemisphere involvement, mental disorders, epilepsy, disturbance of consciousness, hemianopia, paralysis, involuntary movement or myoclonus, cerebellum and brain stem involvement, cerebellar ataxia. So how is acute disseminated encephalomyelitis infected. How to treat that. Let's take a look at the following.

Symptoms of demyelinating myelitis

Sensory disturbance: all sensory loss below the diseased segment, there may be hypersensitive area or band like sensory abnormality at the upper edge of the sensory loss level, and the sensory level gradually decreases with the recovery of the disease, but it is slower than the recovery of motor function.

Dyskinesia: early common spinal cord shock, performance paraplegia, limb and low tension and tendon reflex disappeared, no pathological signs. The shock stage is usually 2-4 weeks or longer, and the patients with severe spinal cord injury, pulmonary and urinary tract infection complications and bedsore are longer. During the recovery period, the muscle tension increased gradually, the tendon reflexes increased, pathological signs appeared, and the muscle strength of the limbs gradually recovered from the distal end.

Dysfunction of autonomic nervous system: early urinary retention, no bladder filling, tension free neurogenic bladder, bladder overfilling and filling incontinence *; With the recovery of spinal cord function, the volume of bladder shrinks and urinates autonomously when the urine is filled to 300-400ml, which is called reflex neurogenic bladder. There was no or little sweat below the lesion level, skin desquamation and edema, stent crispness and hyperkeratosis.

matters needing attention

The clinical manifestations of sequelae of myelitis are complex and diverse, including paroxysmal motor, sensory, autonomic nervous, consciousness and mental disorders. The causes of sequelae of myelitis are various. About 70% of the patients with sequelae of myelitis can be controlled after regular anti myelitis drug treatment, and 50% - 60% of the patients can be cured after 2-5 years of treatment. The patients can work and live as normal people.
