What is Rhombencephalosynapsis? Rhombencephalosynapsis is a midline brain malformation represented by an absent cerebellar vermis with an obvious fusion of the cerebellar hemispheres. Rhombencephalosynapsis can be seen in isolation or together with the different central nervous system and extra-central nervous system malformations. Gmez-Lpez-Hernndez syndrome combines rhombencephalon synapsis with parietal/temporal alopecia and occasionally trigeminal anesthesia, high…
What is a Pinched nerve? Nerves extend from your brain and spinal cord, transmitting necessary messages throughout your body. If you have a pinched nerve (nerve compression) your body may transmit you warning signs like pain. Don’t ignore these warning signs. Injury from a pinched nerve may be minor or extreme. It may generate temporary…
What is Epilepsy? Epilepsy is a long-term brain disease where a patient has repeated seizures. It is considered to involve approximately 3 people in every 100 patients with seizures. Having only one seizure is not considered to be epilepsy almost half the patients who have one seizure never have another seizure. Epilepsy is not one…
What is Spinal cord injury? A spinal cord injury(SCI) is an injury to the spinal cord at the spinal canal. Depending on the severity, you may lose movement, and sensation in various parts of your body.

Over time, they also form stiffness (rigidity) and spasms in their legs and different muscles. Walking may evolve hard, and patients…
What is Cerebral Hypoxia? Cerebral hypoxia is a neurological disease that occurs when the brain doesn’t get sufficient oxygen, even though there is adequate blood flow. It is a medical crisis that can occur on many occasions where oxygen to the brain may be cut off, like from choking, drowning, cardiac arrest, suffocation, or head…
What are Seizures? A seizure is a medical situation where you have a temporary, unstoppable surge of electrical activity in your brain.
