- Disease or Syndrome
Difficulty in swallowing.
Poor suck- MedGen UID:
- 324693
- •Concept ID:
- C1837142
- •
- Finding
An inadequate sucking reflex, resulting in the difficult of newborns to be breast-fed.
Feeding difficulties in infancy- MedGen UID:
- 436211
- •Concept ID:
- C2674608
- •
- Finding
Impaired feeding performance of an infant as manifested by difficulties such as weak and ineffective sucking, brief bursts of sucking, and falling asleep during sucking. There may be difficulties with chewing or maintaining attention.
Fatigable weakness- MedGen UID:
- 451076
- •Concept ID:
- C0947912
- •
- Disease or Syndrome
A type of weakness that occurs after a muscle group is used and lessens if the muscle group has some rest. That is, there is diminution of strength with repetitive muscle actions.
Easy fatigability- MedGen UID:
- 373253
- •Concept ID:
- C1837098
- •
- Finding
Increased susceptibility to fatigue.
Generalized hypotonia due to defect at the neuromuscular junction- MedGen UID:
- 343014
- •Concept ID:
- C1853950
- •
- Finding
Decreased miniature endplate potentials- MedGen UID:
- 381306
- •Concept ID:
- C1853952
- •
- Finding
An abnormal reduction in the amplitude of the miniature endplate potentials, i.e. the postsynaptic response to transmitter released from an individual vesicle at the neuromuscular junction.
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.
Myopathy- MedGen UID:
- 10135
- •Concept ID:
- C0026848
- •
- Disease or Syndrome
A disorder of muscle unrelated to impairment of innervation or neuromuscular junction.
Generalized hypotonia- MedGen UID:
- 346841
- •Concept ID:
- C1858120
- •
- Finding
Generalized muscular hypotonia (abnormally low muscle tone).
Type 2 muscle fiber atrophy- MedGen UID:
- 355249
- •Concept ID:
- C1864580
- •
- Pathologic Function
Atrophy (wasting) affecting primary type 2 muscle fibers. This feature in general can only be observed on muscle biopsy.
EMG: decremental response of compound muscle action potential to repetitive nerve stimulation- MedGen UID:
- 892749
- •Concept ID:
- C4021728
- •
- Finding
A compound muscle action potential (CMAP) is a type of electromyography (EMG). CMAP refers to a group of almost simultaneous action potentials from several muscle fibers in the same area evoked by stimulation of the supplying motor nerve and are recorded as one multipeaked summated action potential. This abnormality refers to a greater than normal decrease in the amplitude during the course of the investigation.
Respiratory distress- MedGen UID:
- 96907
- •Concept ID:
- C0476273
- •
- Sign or Symptom
Respiratory distress is objectively observable as the physical or emotional consequences from the experience of dyspnea. The physical presentation of respiratory distress is generally referred to as labored breathing, while the sensation of respiratory distress is called shortness of breath or dyspnea.
Apneic episodes precipitated by illness, fatigue, stress- MedGen UID:
- 812792
- •Concept ID:
- C3806462
- •
- Finding
Recurrent episodes of apnea that are precipitated by factors such as illness, fatigue, or stress.
Respiratory insufficiency due to muscle weakness- MedGen UID:
- 812797
- •Concept ID:
- C3806467
- •
- Finding
Sudden episodic apnea- MedGen UID:
- 871194
- •Concept ID:
- C4025671
- •
- Disease or Syndrome
Recurrent bouts of sudden, severe apnea that may be life-threatening.
Weak cry- MedGen UID:
- 65892
- •Concept ID:
- C0234860
- •
- Finding
Ptosis- MedGen UID:
- 2287
- •Concept ID:
- C0005745
- •
- Disease or Syndrome
The upper eyelid margin is positioned 3 mm or more lower than usual and covers the superior portion of the iris (objective); or, the upper lid margin obscures at least part of the pupil (subjective).
Strabismus- MedGen UID:
- 21337
- •Concept ID:
- C0038379
- •
- Disease or Syndrome
A misalignment of the eyes so that the visual axes deviate from bifoveal fixation. The classification of strabismus may be based on a number of features including the relative position of the eyes, whether the deviation is latent or manifest, intermittent or constant, concomitant or otherwise and according to the age of onset and the relevance of any associated refractive error.
Ophthalmoparesis- MedGen UID:
- 155551
- •Concept ID:
- C0751401
- •
- Sign or Symptom
Ophthalmoplegia is a paralysis or weakness of one or more of the muscles that control eye movement.
