special medical search for Spinal cord tumors

Description:
Paresis, pain, paresthesia, and variable sensory loss may occur along the nerve distribution pathway served by the affected cord segment. Eventually, these symptoms may progress to spastic PARALYSIS with hyperactive DTRs (unless the tumor is in the cauda equina, which produces hyporeflexia) and, perhaps, bladder and bowel incontinence. PARALYSIS is permanent without treatment

special medical search for Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)

Description:
ALS is an invariably fatal disorder that produces spastic or flaccid PARALYSIS in the body-s major muscle groups, eventually progressing to total PARALYSIS. Earlier findings include progressive muscle weakness, fasciculations, and muscle atrophy, usually beginning in the arms and hands. Cramping and hyperreflexia are also common. Involvement of respiratory muscles and the brain stem produces dyspnea and possibly respiratory distress. Progressive cranial nerve PARALYSIS causes dysarthria, dysphagial drooling, choking, and difficulty chewing

Description:
Botulism is a bacterial toxin infection that can cause rapidly descending muscle weakness that progresses to PARALYSIS within 2 to 4 days after the ingestion of contaminated food. Respiratory muscle PARALYSIS leads to dyspnea and respiratory arrest. Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, blurred or double vision, bilateral mydriasis, dysarthria, and dysphagia are some early findings

Description:
A stroke involving the motor cortex can produce contralateral paresis or PARALYSIS. The onset may be sudden or gradual, and PARALYSIS may be transient or permanent. Associated signs and symptoms vary widely and may include a headache, vomiting, seizures, a decreased LOC and mental acuity, dysarthria, dysphagia, ataxia, contralateral paresthesia or sensory loss, apraxia, agnosia, aphasia, vision disturbances, emotional lability, and bowel and bladder dysfunction

Guillain-Barre- syndrome is characterized by a rapidly developing, but reversible, ascending PARALYSIS. It commonly begins as leg muscle weakness and progresses symmetrically, sometimes affecting even the cranial nerves, producing dysphagia, nasal speech, and dysarthria. Respiratory muscle PARALYSIS may be life-threatening. Other effects include transient paresthesia, orthostatic hypotension, tachycardia, diaphoresis, and bowel and bladder incontinence
