Ortitis and Cephalalgia Hemiplegia Explanation: + -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-07-17 18:51:23 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Ortitis/otitis *re: ears*:Ears including deafness, ortitis media, tinnitus; Eyes including conjunctivitis, glaucoma; Mouth including gum and tooth problems, ulcers; Nose including chronic. Cephalalgia: A distinctive syndrome of headaches, also known as cluster headache or migrainous neuralgia. The common pattern of cluster headache is termed “episodic” and is characterized by 1-3 short attacks of pain each day around the eyes, clustered over a stretch of 1-2 months, followed by a pain- free breathing period (average: a year). The other main pattern of cluster headache is termed “chronic” (and is also known as chronic migrainous neuralgia). It may come out of the blue or emerge several years after an episodic pattern. It is characterized by the absence of sustained periods of remission. The episodic and acute forms of cluster headache may transform into the other, so it is clear that they are merely different-appearing patterns of one and the same disease. On the other hand, cluster headache looks different and distinct from migraine—for example, propranolol is effective for migraine but not cluster headache while lithium benefits cluster headache syndrome but not migraine—although the mechanisms underlying cluster headache and migraine may have a degree of commonality Hemiplegia Several other migraine variants have been described in the medical literature, although specific inclusion criteria and classification scales have not been developed for their diagnosis. Hemiplegic migraine is manifested by hemiparesis ranging from mild weakness to full hemiplegia. This may persist for some time after resolution of the headache pain. Unless the patient has a history of similar migraines, this is strictly a diagnosis of exclusion, and CT scanning may be necessary to rule out an intracranial process.10,19 -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-07-17 18:53:41 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://www.emory.edu/PEDS/NEURO/ntsha001.htm |

He's affected by OTITIS, and left hemisphere hemiplegic migraine Explanation: Parece que hay dos errores ortográficos en tu texto. No existe ningún trastorno llamado \"ortitis\" (ni en español ni en inglés). Seguramente se refiere a OTITIS (inflamación del conducto auditivo). También podría confundirse con \"aortitis\", pero es mucho menos probable. El otro error (de dedo) es lo de hemiplegiVa. Seguramente querían decir hemipléJica (por cierto, con J y no con G en español). Google: 2,700 hemiplegic migraine Saludos, Marco. |

Otitis / Hemiplegic Migraine Explanation: There is no such thing as otritis either in Spanish or English and Marcos is absolutely right in both respects, surely you must have meant "hemiplégica" |
