Infantile cerebral atrophy
Infantile cerebral atrophy is a severe central nervous system damage caused by cerebral cell ischemia, hypoxia, inflammation, and infection. Symptoms include growth and developmental delay, motor nerve function developmental delay, visual and auditory impairments, oral and facial dysfunction, and dental developmental disorders.
View detailsTuberous sclerosis complex
Tuberous sclerosis complex, also known as Bourneville-Pringle syndrome or Bourneville disease, is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder affecting multiple systems. This disease can cause benign hamartomas in various organs, including the skin, brain, eyes, mouth, heart, lungs, kidneys, liver, and bones. It primarily manifests with symptoms such as epilepsy, intellectual disability, hypomelanotic macules, and facial angiofibromas.
View detailsNeurocutaneous syndrome
Neurocutaneous syndromes are diseases caused by abnormal development of organs originating from ectodermal tissues. They are characterized by multi-system and multi-organ involvement, affecting the nervous system, skin, and eyes, and can also involve mesodermal and endodermal organs such as the heart, lungs, bones, kidneys, and gastrointestinal tract. More common examples include neurofibromatosis, encephalofacial angiomatosis, and tuberous sclerosis.
Hereditary neurological diseases

View detailsWilson's disease
Wilson's disease is a hereditary disorder of copper metabolism caused by abnormal copper deposition in various tissues throughout the body. This disease presents with diverse manifestations, primarily affecting liver function and neurological function. Common symptoms include loss of appetite, fatigue, somnolence, jaundice, abdominal pain, anemia, hematuria, dystonia, and tremor.
View detailsProgressive muscular dystrophy
Progressive muscular dystrophy is a group of muscle degenerative diseases caused by gene mutations, primarily characterized by progressive weakness and atrophy of skeletal muscles. Different types vary significantly in terms of onset time, progression rate, affected areas, and severity. Inheritance patterns include X-linked recessive, autosomal dominant, and autosomal recessive inheritance.
View detailsMitochondrial encephalomyopathy
Mitochondria are the energy factories of the human body, and cells rely on them to produce energy for their functions. Skeletal muscle and the brain have high energy demands, so they are particularly rich in mitochondria. Mitochondrial encephalomyopathy is a group of diseases caused by mutations in mitochondrial or nuclear genes, leading to impaired mitochondrial structure or function and insufficient adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthesis. This results in multisystem dysfunction, primarily affecting the central nervous system and muscle tissue.
View detailsGuillain-Barré syndrome
Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), also known as acute inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy, is an autoimmune-mediated peripheral neuropathy that primarily affects nerves innervating the face, limbs, and trunk. This disease is more common in young and middle-aged adults. The main symptoms include symmetrical weakness in the limbs, difficulty breathing, facial paralysis, and choking when drinking water.
View detailsMyopathy
Myopathy refers to a condition where the muscle tissue undergoes pathological changes, leading to abnormalities in the cellular structure and metabolism of the muscles, which in turn causes muscle weakness and impaired motor function. It is more common in middle-aged men and has a slow onset. The main manifestations are progressive muscle weakness and muscle atrophy.
