Page 3 of 4 C. Write the medical term’s number in the blank space preceding its definition. 1 narcolepsy Nervous exhaustion and fatigue, often following depression. 2 spina bifida This is a progressive nervous system (neurological) disease that destroys nerve cells and causes disability. Eventually this disease affects control of the muscles needed to move, speak, eat and breathe. There is no cure for it, and eventually the disease is fatal. Its cause is unknown. This disease is often called Lou Gehrig's disease, after the famous baseball player who died from it. 3 motor aphasia This is a potentially disabling disease of the central nervous system in which the immune system attacks the protective sheath (myelin) that covers nerve fibers and causes communication problems between your brain and the rest of your body. Some people with severe cases may lose the ability to walk independently or at all, while others may experience long periods of remission without any new symptoms. 4 Alzheimer Disease (AD) Partial paralysis and lack of muscular coordination caused by loss of oxygen or blood flow to the cerebrum during pregnancy or in the perinatal period. 5 epilepsy This is present when the patient pronounces words easily but uses them inappropriately. This patient has difficulty understanding written and verbal commands and cannot repeat them. 6 neuralgia While a tremor may be the most well-known sign of this neurological disorder, the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement. This incurable disease’s symptoms worsen as your condition progresses over time. 7 multiple sclerosis (MS) This is an abnormal accumulation of fluid in the brain. It can occur in adults as a result of tumors and infections. 8 cerebral palsy Chronic brain disorder characterized by recurrent seizures. 9 Parkinson’s disease This is a congenital defect in the lumbar spinal column caused by the imperfect union of vertebral parts. 10 Bell’s palsy This is a stabbing, burning, and often quite severe pain that occurs due to a damaged nerve. The damaged nerve may be anywhere in the body, but it’s most commonly located in the face and neck. The cause of a damaged nerve may be a disease, such as diabetes or multiple sclerosis, an infection, such as shingles, or old age. 11 hydrocephalus Condition resulting from impaired oxygen supply to the brain.

Page 4 of 4 12 amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) Paralysis on one side of the face whose likely cause is a viral infection. 13 seizures This is a sudden, uncontrollable compulsion to sleep. Amphetamines and stimulant drugs can be prescribed to prevent attacks. 14 neurasthenia Mass or growth of abnormal cells in your brain or close to your brain. There are many different types of these. Some are noncancerous (benign), and some are cancerous (malignant). The cancer can begin in your brain (primary) in other parts of your body and spread to your brain (metastatic). The location and growth of the mass determines how it will affect the function of your nervous system. 15 meningitis This is present when the patient knows what he/she wants to say but cannot say it. 16 brain tumor These are abnormal, sudden discharges of electrical activity within the brain. They are often symptoms of underlying brain conditions, such as brain tumors, meningitis, vascular disease, or scar tissue from a head injury. 17 cerebral concussion This is a form of traumatic brain injury (TBI) caused by direct trauma to the head (where the brain is shaken), which could lead to permanent damage with altered memory or speech, or development of epilepsy. 18 cerebrovascular accident (CVA or stroke) Brain disorder that causes patients to suffer gradual and progressive mental deterioration (dementia), personality changes, and impairment of daily funcitoning. 19 cerebral contusion This is an inflammation of the membranes (meninges) surrounding your brain and spinal cord. The swelling from meningitis typically triggers symptoms such as headache, fever and a stiff neck. Most cases in the U.S. are caused by a viral infection. Some improve without treatment in a few weeks. Others can be life-threatening and require urgent antibiotic treatment. 20 sensory aphasia This is a form of traumatic brain injury(TBI), due to severe head trauma, a bruise of the brain tissue.
