Dystonic disorder- MedGen UID:
- 3940
- •Concept ID:
- C0013421

- Sign or Symptom
An abnormally increased muscular tone that causes fixed abnormal postures. There is a slow, intermittent twisting motion that leads to exaggerated turning and posture of the extremities and trunk.

- 6709
- •Concept ID:
- C0018524
- •
- Mental or Behavioral Dysfunction
Perceptions in a conscious and awake state that, in the absence of external stimuli, have qualities of real perception. These perceptions are vivid, substantial, and located in external objective space.
Sleep abnormality- MedGen UID:
- 52372
- •Concept ID:
- C0037317
- •
- Finding
An abnormal pattern in the quality, quantity, or characteristics of sleep.
Tremor- MedGen UID:
- 21635
- •Concept ID:
- C0040822
- •
- Sign or Symptom
An unintentional, oscillating to-and-fro muscle movement about a joint axis.
Lewy bodies- MedGen UID:
- 43126
- •Concept ID:
- C0085200
- •
- Cell Component
Intracytoplasmic, eosinophilic, round to elongated inclusions found in vacuoles of injured or fragmented neurons. The presence of Lewy bodies is the histological marker of the degenerative changes in LEWY BODY DISEASE and PARKINSON DISEASE but they may be seen in other neurological conditions. They are typically found in the substantia nigra and locus coeruleus but they are also seen in the basal forebrain, hypothalamic nuclei, and neocortex.
Bradykinesia- MedGen UID:
- 115925
- •Concept ID:
- C0233565
- •
- Sign or Symptom
Bradykinesia literally means slow movement, and is used clinically to denote a slowness in the execution of movement (in contrast to hypokinesia, which is used to refer to slowness in the initiation of movement).
Resting tremor- MedGen UID:
- 66697
- •Concept ID:
- C0234379
- •
- Sign or Symptom
A resting tremor occurs when muscles are at rest and becomes less noticeable or disappears when the affected muscles are moved. Resting tremors are often slow and coarse.
Micrographia- MedGen UID:
- 66806
- •Concept ID:
- C0240341
- •
- Finding
Abnormally small-sized handwriting is formally defined as an impairment of fine motor skills, which mainly manifests as a progressive or stable reduction in amplitude during a writing task.
Personality changes- MedGen UID:
- 66817
- •Concept ID:
- C0240735
- •
- Mental or Behavioral Dysfunction
An abnormal shift in patterns of thinking, acting, or feeling.
Parkinsonian disorder- MedGen UID:
- 66079
- •Concept ID:
- C0242422
- •
- Disease or Syndrome
Characteristic neurologic anomaly resulting from degeneration of dopamine-generating cells in the substantia nigra, a region of the midbrain, characterized clinically by shaking, rigidity, slowness of movement and difficulty with walking and gait.
Dementia- MedGen UID:
- 99229
- •Concept ID:
- C0497327
- •
- Mental or Behavioral Dysfunction
A loss of global cognitive ability of sufficient amount to interfere with normal social or occupational function. Dementia represents a loss of previously present cognitive abilities, generally in adults, and can affect memory, thinking, language, judgment, and behavior.
Postural instability- MedGen UID:
- 334529
- •Concept ID:
- C1843921
- •
- Finding
A tendency to fall or the inability to keep oneself from falling; imbalance. The retropulsion test is widely regarded as the gold standard to evaluate postural instability, Use of the retropulsion test includes a rapid balance perturbation in the backward direction, and the number of balance correcting steps (or total absence thereof) is used to rate the degree of postural instability. Healthy subjects correct such perturbations with either one or two large steps, or without taking any steps, hinging rapidly at the hips while swinging the arms forward as a counterweight. In patients with balance impairment, balance correcting steps are often too small, forcing patients to take more than two steps. Taking three or more steps is generally considered to be abnormal, and taking more than five steps is regarded as being clearly abnormal. Markedly affected patients continue to step backward without ever regaining their balance and must be caught by the examiner (this would be called true retropulsion). Even more severely affected patients fail to correct entirely, and fall backward like a pushed toy soldier, without taking any corrective steps.
Substantia nigra gliosis- MedGen UID:
- 337668
- •Concept ID:
- C1846865
- •
- Finding
Focal proliferation of glial cells in the substantia nigra.
Neuronal loss in central nervous system- MedGen UID:
- 342515
- •Concept ID:
- C1850496
- •
- Finding
Short stepped shuffling gait- MedGen UID:
- 812045
- •Concept ID:
- C3805715
- •
- Finding
Rigidity- MedGen UID:
- 7752
- •Concept ID:
- C0026837
- •
- Sign or Symptom
Continuous involuntary sustained muscle contraction. When an affected muscle is passively stretched, the degree of resistance remains constant regardless of the rate at which the muscle is stretched. This feature helps to distinguish rigidity from muscle spasticity.
Weak voice- MedGen UID:
- 66033
- •Concept ID:
- C0241700
- •
- Finding
Reduced intensity (volume) of speech.
Mask-like facies- MedGen UID:
