Welcome to the neurology of

Here you will find all information on this subject, including diseases of the nerves and the brain, as well as headaches and sleep disorders.

Degenerative diseases

Degenerative diseases play a major role, especially in our century with an increased life expectancy. The degenerative diseases in which nerve cells are destroyed, especially in the brain, include Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and many other types of dementia. Here you will find the most important information:

• dementia
• Forms of dementia
• Alzheimer's disease
• Parkinson's disease

Cerebral hemorrhage and stroke

There are different types of bleeding in the brain. These can be differentiated according to their localization, so there is bleeding within the tissue but also between the meninges. However, bleeding can also lead to a stroke. The most important cerebral hemorrhages can be found below:

• Epidural bleeding
• Subarachnoid hemorrhage
• Cerebral hemorrhage and coma
• stroke
• Cerebellar infarction
• Locked-in Syndrome

a headache

There are many different types of headache with different causes. The most common forms are listed here:

• Tension headache
• migraine
• Cluster headache
• Pain in the temple
• Back of the headache

Nerve damage

Nerve damage can manifest itself in a variety of ways, depending on which areas are affected. Taste and smell disorders as well as motor impairments and numbness belong to the spectrum of possible symptoms. The most important nerve damage is shown here in an overview:

• Paraplegia
• Trigeminal palsy
• Spasticity
• Polyneuropathy
• Taste disturbance
• Odor disorder

Inflammation of the brain and meninges

Inflammation of the brain and meninges usually results from a bacterial or viral infection. The most important articles on this topic can be found here:

• Encephalitis
• Herpes simplex encephalitis
• Viral encephalitis
• Brain abscess
• Meningitis
• TBE

Traumatic brain injury

Serious accidents can result in injuries such as head trauma. This also includes a concussion.

epilepsy

Epilepsy is a term for diseases caused by a dysfunction of the brain and the conduction of impulses in the nervous system. Often there is a sudden expression called epileptic seizures.

Brain tumor

Brain tumors can originate from structures such as the meninges and the supporting tissue of the brain, but they can also originate outside as metastases. The most common brain tumors are listed below:

• Astrocytoma
• Glioblastoma
• Medulloblastoma
• Acoustic neuroma
• Meningioma
• Pituitary tumor
• Brain metastases

sleep disorders

There are many different forms of sleep disorders, including problems falling asleep, difficulty sleeping through the night, or being tired from unrestful sleep. You can find our articles on this topic here:

• sleep disorders
• sleep deprivation
• fatigue

Muscular dystrophy

Muscular dystrophies are degenerative muscle diseases in which muscle strength is gradually lost. A distinction can be made between dystrophies that have their cause in the muscle itself through altered proteins or those that result from defective innervation. The most common diseases at a glance:

• Duchenne muscular dystropia
• Myotonic dystrophy
• FSHD
