    This document discusses various neurological conditions: 1. Alternating hemiplegia of childhood (AHC) is a rare disorder characterized by repeated episodes of weakness or paralysis affecting one or both sides of the body. There are multiple forms including Weber's syndrome and middle/inferior alternating hemiplegia. 2. Influenza encephalitis is inflammation of the brain caused by influenza viruses. Symptoms include hemorrhaging, lesions, hyperemia, and lymphocyte infiltration in the brain tissue. Diagnosis involves detecting the virus in CSF or tissue. Treatment includes antivirals, steroids, and supportive care. 3. Headaches can be classified as primary or secondary and have various causes like muscle

    1. Alternating syndromes. General notions.


    Classification.Wallenbergsyndrome.
    Ans.Alternating hemiplegia of childhood (AHC) is a
    rare neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by
    repeated episodes of weakness or paralysis that
    may affect one side of the body or the other
    (hemiplegia) or both sides of the body at once
    (quadriplegia)
    Symptoms
     tonic attacks (stiffening of a limb) dystonic.
     posturing (twisting postures)
     abnormal involuntary eye movements.
     developmental delays
     fluctuating mental status and even true
    seizures.
    Classification
    There are multiple forms of alternating hemiplegia.
     Weber’s syndrome
     middle alternating hemiplegia
     inferior alternating hemiplegia.
    Wallenberg's syndrome is a neurological
    condition caused by a stroke in the vertebral or
    posterior inferior cerebellar artery of the brain stem

    2.Disturbances of the nervous system in
    influenza. Influenza Encephalitis: clinical
    manifestations, diagnosis, treatment.
    Ans.Influenza ENCEPHALITIS: is inflammation
    of brain parenchyma. *

    Etiology
    Caused by influenza viruses “A” and “b” and
    Asiatic. And is Seasonal disease. That attack
    more children 6months-5years, but Can affect
    adults. *
    *Morphopathology: present hemorrhagic
    Component, we find acute lesions of the
    nervous cells of the Cerebral cortex and basal
    nuclei, hyperemia and extrainvasion With
    lymphocyte infiltration and edema on the white
    matter.
    Laboratory diagnosis consists of
    demonstration of influenza virus RNA in brain
    tissue, CSF or respiratory samples, and
    demonstration of intrathecal antibody
    production against influenza virus. The
    presence of brain lesions in MRI and influenza
    virus in CSF appear to be of prognostic value.
    **Neurological symptoms: cephaloraachiadian
    fluid (CSF) may Show pleocytosis 200-300
    elements/1u. Serologic and virusologic
    (PCR) examination show identification of the
    virus in the fluid, Increase specific antibodies in
    the serum, and its importance is in the atypical
    causes.
    **Treatment: interferon: for neurons protection.
    Mannitol in case of cerebral edema.(SOME
    SUGGGESTS: Dexamethazone). In rregional
    localized edema: glycerol. Furosemid, diacarb.
    Gama-globulin, desensibilators, dicenon,
    Ascorbic acid may be helpful in the course of
    treatment. To treat Other accompanied
    conditions. (as anticonvulsants in case of
    Epilepsy development. OTHER BOOKS:
    ACYCLOVIR 10MG/KG/IV/8HR
    3.Headache.Internationalclassification.Primary
    and secondary headaches.Specificity of
    patient with headache.
    A painful sensation in any part of the head,
    ranging from sharp to dull, that may occur with
    other symptoms.Sometimes the muscles or
    blood vessels swell, tighten, or go through other
    changes that stimulate the surrounding nerves
    or put pressure on them. These nerves send a
    rush of pain messages to the brain, and this
    brings on a headache
