Clinical InformationClinical

  • Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy, Familial

    a familial disorder marked by amyloid deposits in the walls of small and medium sized blood vessels of cerebral cortex and meninges.

  • Cerebral Hemorrhage

    bleeding into one or both cerebral hemispheres including the basal ganglia and the cerebral cortex. it is often associated with hypertension and craniocerebral trauma.

  • Cerebral Hemorrhage, Traumatic

    bleeding into one or both cerebral hemispheres due to trauma. hemorrhage may involve any part of the cerebral cortex and the basal ganglia. depending on the severity of bleeding, clinical features may include seizures; aphasia; vision disorders; movement disorders; paralysis; and coma.

  • Intracranial Hemorrhage, Hypertensive

    bleeding within the skull that is caused by systemic hypertension, usually in association with intracranial arteriosclerosis. hypertensive hemorrhages are most frequent in the basal ganglia; cerebellum; pons; and thalamus; but may also involve the cerebral cortex, subcortical white matter, and other brain structures.

Patient EducationClinical

Brain Diseases

Your brain is the control center of your body. It controls your thoughts, memory, speech, and movement. It regulates the function of many organs. It's part of your nervous system, which also includes your spinal cord and peripheral nerves. The nervous system sends signals between your brain and the rest of the body.

Footnotes

[1] Not chronic - A diagnosis code that does not fit the criteria for chronic condition (duration, ongoing medical treatment, and limitations) is considered not chronic. Some codes designated as not chronic are acute conditions. Other diagnosis codes that indicate a possible chronic condition, but for which the duration of the illness is not specified in the code description (i.e., we do not know the condition has lasted 12 months or longer) also are considered not chronic.
