Ataxia Ataxia is a neurological sign consisting of lack of voluntary coordination of muscle movements that includes gait abnormality. Ataxia is a non-specific clinical manifestation implying dysfunction of the parts of the nervous system that coordinate movement, such as the cerebellum. Ataxia can be limited to one side of the body, which is referred to as hemiataxia. Several possible causes exist for these patterns of neurological dysfunction.

Cachexia Cachexia (from Greek κακός kakos bad and ἕξις hexis condition) or wasting syndrome is loss of weight, muscle atrophy, fatigue, weakness, and significant loss of appetite in someone who is not actively trying to lose weight.

What Is Ataxia? Subacute onset of ataxia is usually seen in paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration. This is a condition in which cancer in the breast, lungs, ovaries or other areas in the body can cause ataxia. Episodic ataxia is a disorder with intermittent spells of ataxia with complete recovery between episodes.

Ataxic gait Ataxic gait: impairment of the ability to coordinate the movements required for normal ambulation which may result from impairments of motor function or sensory feedback.

Movement Disorders Ataxia is a degenerative disorder affecting the brain, brainstem or spinal cord. This can result in clumsiness, inaccuracy, instability, imbalance, tremor or a lack of coordination while performing voluntary movements. Movements are not smooth and may appear disjointed or jerky. Patients may fall down frequently due to an unsteady gait. Ataxia also can affect speech and movement of the eyes. If a metabolic disorder can be identified as the underlying cause, specific treatment may be available in select cases. The cornerstone of treatment for ataxia of parkinsonism (or parkinsonism of any cause) is the use of oral L-DOPA.

Ataxia-telangiectasia Ataxia telangiectasia (A-T) (also referred to as Louis–Bar syndrome ) is a rare, neurodegenerative, autosomal recessive disease causing severe disability. Ataxia refers to poor coordination and telangiectasia to small dilated blood vessels, both of which are hallmarks of the disease. A-T affects many parts of the body: It impairs certain areas of the brain including the cerebellum, causing difficulty with movement and coordination.

Ataxia Ataxia (from Greek α- [a negative prefix] + -τάξις [order] = lack of order) is a neurological sign consisting of lack of voluntary coordination of muscle movements that includes gait abnormality.taxia can be limited to one side of the body, which is referred to as hemiataxia. Several possible causes exist for these patterns of neurological dysfunction. Dystaxia is a mild degree of ataxia.

Lamictal Dosage The recommended dose for prevention and management of bipolar disorder ranges from 100 to 400 mg per day. Patients taking other medications, particularly anti-seizure drugs, are given adjusted doses of Lamictal. For patients taking valproate, the maximum dose is 100 mg per day.hen using extended release tablets, the maintenance dosage ranges from 200 to 600 mg taken once a day. Again, the dose should be slowly titrated until the effective dose is achieved. Pediatric patients (2 to 12 years of age) are given an adjusted dose of Lamictal based on the patient’s weight and age.

- Ataxia is a common neurologic finding in many disease processes of the nervous system, and has classically been associated with numerous metabolic disorders.An error of metabolism should be considered when the ataxia is either intermittent or progressive.ysosomal storage diseases can also present with ataxia. Metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) is the most common of these disorders. The enzyme deficiency causes demyelination of the peripheral and central nervous system (CNS). The age of onset is variable, although early childhood is the most common age of onset.

EPILEPSY IMITATORS Episodic ataxias are rare autosomal dominant disorders divided into two major categories: episodic ataxia type 1 (EA1) and 2 (EA2) both of which are channelopathies in which a movement disorder and epilepsy may co-exist.

- When the person is sitting, the body may move side-to-side, back-to-front, or both. Then the body quickly moves back to an upright position. When a person with ataxia of the arms reaches for an object, the hand may sway back and forth. Common symptoms of ataxia include: Clumsy speech pattern (dysarthria)

Alone we are rare. Together we are strong.â¥ Donate Today Ataxia telangiectasia, also known as Louis-Bar syndrome, is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait. It is a progressive cerebellar ataxia that usually begins during infancy. It involves progressive loss of coordination in the limbs, head and eyes with a below-normal immune response to infections.s noted above, some forms of the hereditary ataxias are transmitted in a dominant mode, others are transmitted through a recessive mode, and still others are transmitted in an X-linked fashion. This report deals with the disorders transmitted in an autosomal dominant fashion.

ataxia-telangiectasia The disorder first appeared in the medical literature in the mid-1920s, but was not named specifically until 1957. The name is a combination of two recognized abnormalities: ataxia (lack of muscle control) and telangiectasia (abnormal dilatation of capillary vessels that often result in tumors and red skin lesions).

Ataraxia Ataraxia (ἀταραξία, not perturbed) is a Greek term used by Pyrrho and subsequently Epicurus for a lucid state of robust equanimity, characterized by ongoing freedom from distress and worry. In non-philosophical usage, the term was used to describe the ideal mental state for soldiers entering battle.

- Ataxia-telangiectasia is a rare inherited disorder that affects the nervous system, immune system, and other body systems.taxia-telangiectasia is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern, which means both copies of the ATM gene in each cell have mutations. Most often, the parents of an individual with an autosomal recessive condition each carry one copy of the mutated gene, but do not show signs and symptoms of the condition.

Episodic ataxia episodic ataxia. Description. Episodic ataxia is a group of related conditions that affect the nervous system and cause problems with movement. People with episodic ataxia have recurrent episodes of poor coordination and balance (ataxia). During these episodes, many people also experience dizziness (vertigo), nausea and vomiting, migraine headaches, blurred or double vision, slurred speech, and ringing in the ears (tinnitus).

Ataxia-telangiectasia Ataxia-telangiectasia like disorder (ATLD) is an extremely rare condition, caused by mutation in the hMre11 gene, that could be considered in the differential diagnosis of A-T. Patients with ATLD are very similar to those with A-T in showing a progressive cerebellar ataxia, hypersensitivity to ionizing radiation and genomic instability.
