Feeding difficulties- MedGen UID:
- 65429
- •Concept ID:
- C0232466
- •
- Finding
Impaired ability to eat related to problems gathering food and getting ready to suck, chew, or swallow it.
Bulbar palsy- MedGen UID:
- 898626
- •Concept ID:
- C4082299
- •
- Disease or Syndrome
Bulbar weakness (or bulbar palsy) refers to bilateral impairment of function of the lower cranial nerves IX, X, XI and XII, which occurs due to lower motor neuron lesion either at nuclear or fascicular level in the medulla or from bilateral lesions of the lower cranial nerves outside the brain-stem. Bulbar weakness is often associated with difficulty in chewing, weakness of the facial muscles, dysarthria, palatal weakness and regurgitation of fluids, dysphagia, and dysphonia.
Muscle weakness- MedGen UID:
- 57735
- •Concept ID:
- C0151786
- •
- Finding
Reduced strength of muscles.
Congenital contracture- MedGen UID:
- 83066
- •Concept ID:
- C0332878
- •
- Congenital Abnormality
One or more flexion contractures (a bent joint that cannot be straightened actively or passively) that are present at birth.
Flexion contracture- MedGen UID:
- 83069
- •Concept ID:
- C0333068
- •
- Anatomical Abnormality
A flexion contracture is a bent (flexed) joint that cannot be straightened actively or passively. It is thus a chronic loss of joint motion due to structural changes in muscle, tendons, ligaments, or skin that prevents normal movement of joints.
Facial palsy- MedGen UID:
- 87660
- •Concept ID:
- C0376175
- •
- Disease or Syndrome
Facial nerve palsy is a dysfunction of cranial nerve VII (the facial nerve) that results in inability to control facial muscles on the affected side with weakness of the muscles of facial expression and eye closure. This can either be present in unilateral or bilateral form.
Muscular atrophy- MedGen UID:
- 892680
- •Concept ID:
- C0541794
- •
- Pathologic Function
The presence of skeletal muscular atrophy (which is also known as amyotrophy).
Generalized muscle weakness- MedGen UID:
- 155433
- •Concept ID:
- C0746674
- •
- Sign or Symptom
Generalized weakness or decreased strength of the muscles, affecting both distal and proximal musculature.
Severe muscular hypotonia- MedGen UID:
- 326544
- •Concept ID:
- C1839630
- •
- Finding
A severe degree of muscular hypotonia characterized by markedly reduced muscle tone.
Generalized hypotonia- MedGen UID:
- 346841
- •Concept ID:
- C1858120
- •
- Finding
Generalized muscular hypotonia (abnormally low muscle tone).
Nemaline bodies- MedGen UID:
- 814369
- •Concept ID:
- C3808039
- •
- Finding
Nemaline rods are abnormal bodies that can occur in skeletal muscle fibers. The rods can be observed on histological analysis of muscle biopsy tissue or upon electron microscopy, where they appear either as extensions of sarcomeric Z-lines, in random array without obvious attachment to Z-lines (often in areas devoid of sarcomeres) or in large clusters localized at the sarcolemma or intermyofibrillar spaces.
Fatty replacement of skeletal muscle- MedGen UID:
- 866735
- •Concept ID:
- C4021082
- •
- Finding
Muscle fibers degeneration resulting in fatty replacement of skeletal muscle fibers
Respiratory insufficiency due to muscle weakness- MedGen UID:
- 812797
- •Concept ID:
- C3806467
- •
- Finding
Breech presentation- MedGen UID:
- 654
- •Concept ID:
- C0006157
- •
- Pathologic Function
A position of the fetus at delivery in which the fetus enters the birth canal with the buttocks or feet first.
Polyhydramnios- MedGen UID:
- 6936
- •Concept ID:
- C0020224
- •
- Pathologic Function
The presence of excess amniotic fluid in the uterus during pregnancy.
Premature birth- MedGen UID:
- 57721
- •Concept ID:
- C0151526
- •
- Pathologic Function
The birth of a baby of less than 37 weeks of gestational age.
Decreased fetal movement- MedGen UID:
- 68618
- •Concept ID:
- C0235659
- •
- Finding
An abnormal reduction in quantity or strength of fetal movements.
Ophthalmoplegia- MedGen UID:
- 45205
- •Concept ID:
- C0029089
- •
- Sign or Symptom
Paralysis of one or more extraocular muscles that are responsible for eye movements.
- Abnormality of prenatal development or birth
- Abnormality of the digestive system
- Abnormality of the eye
- Abnormality of the musculoskeletal system
- Abnormality of the nervous system
- Abnormality of the respiratory system
