Headache disorders

Migraine

Migraine is a heading that can cause throbbing pain on one side of the head, usually accompanied by nausea, vomiting and sensitivity to light and sound.

Tension headache

Tension headache can cause mild to intense pain behind the eyes, in the head and neck and the pain similar to having a tight band around the forehead.

Traumatic brain injury

This type of injury is usually from a violent blow to the head or body. Objects such as a shattered piece of skull, that go through brain tissue can also cause this injury. Symptoms may include headache, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, speech issues, blurred vision, loss of consciousness, sensitivity to light or sound and dizziness.

Cluster headaches

Cluster headaches occur in cluster periods or intermittently are usually one of the painful types of headache which awaken you in the middle of the night with intense pain in or around one eye on one side of the head. Other symptoms may include excessive tearing, pale skin, sweaty forehead and face, swelling around the eye and drooping eyelid on the affected side.

Epilepsy

Epilepsy is a neurological disorder of the brain where its activity becomes abnormal resulting in seizures, periods of unusual behaviour, or sometimes loss of awareness. This condition can affect any gender and anyone at any age. Symptoms include a staring spell, temporary confusion, uncontrollable jerking movements of the arms and legs, unconsciousness and anxiety.

This form of cancer is caused by immature nerve cells found in several areas of the body. Commonly forms in and around the adrenal glands. However, this can also form in other parts of the body such as the abdomen, chest, neck and near the spine. Neuroblastoma commonly occurs in children who are 5 years of age or younger and is a rare occurrence in older children.

Wilms’ tumour also known as nephroblastoma, is a rare form of kidney cancer that affects children between the ages of 3 and 5. Symptoms may include abdominal swelling, pain, blood in the urine, fever, vomiting, loss of appetite, shortness of breath and high blood pressure.

Rhabdomyosarcoma or RMS is a rare form of cancer that affects the skeletal muscle tissue or hollow organs such as the bladder or the uterus. This can occur at any age but is commonly seen among children. Treatment for this condition is based on the severity, size and location of the tumour. Symptoms may include headache, bulging of the eyes, nosebleeds, trouble urinating, difficulty with bowel movements and mass bleeding in the vagina or the rectum.

Atypical Teratoid Rhabdoid tumour is an aggressive form of tumour that affects the central nervous system. Primarily seen in the cerebellum of the brain, it can spread to other parts of the brain, spine or body. This condition is usually seen in children by the age of 3 but occasionally occurs in older children. Symptoms may include headache, hydrocephalus where there is a build-up of fluid in the brain resulting in an increased size of the infants head, vomiting, fatigue and trouble with balance and coordination.

Liver tumours in children can happen at birth but can also develop in the later stages of life. The best course of treatment for liver tumours is to surgically remove the tumours while they’re still in the benign stage.

Teratomas are rare tumours that hold different types of tissue such as bone, teeth, muscle and hair. They’re usually found in the ovaries, testicles and tailbone but can develop in the abdomen and the nervous system. These can be present in the form of solid, cystic tumours or a combination of both.

Neurodegenerative disorders

Alzheimer’s disease

Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive neurological disorder that causes the brain to shrink and brain cells to die. This disease is one of the leading common causes of dementia. Symptoms include memory loss, repeating statements, misplace possessions, lost in familiar places, trouble articulating or participating in conversations.

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) or famously known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a progressive disorder of the nervous system affecting the nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord resulting in loss of muscle control. Symptoms include trouble walking or performing daily activities, falling, weakness in the legs, ankles and feet, weakness in hands, slurred speech, muscle cramps and behavioural changes.

Encephalitis

This condition refers to the inflammation of the brain which causes fever, headache, seizures or problems with mobility, sight and hearing. The common cause for this condition is due to a viral infection.

Myelitis

Myelitis is a neurological disorder that causes inflammation of both sides of one section of the spinal cord, damaging the insulating material covering the nerve cell fibers known as Myelin. This condition results in pain, muscle weakness, paralysis, sensory problems or bladder and bowel dysfunction. Another cause is a stroke of the spinal cord due to poor blood circulation.

Hydrocephalus

This condition refers to a build-up of fluid in the skull causing the brain to swell and can lead to developmental, physical and intellectual Impairments.

Meningomyelocele

Meningomyelocele is a spinal tube defect in which the spinal canal and the backbone don’t close properly before the birth of the baby. This results in the spinal cord and its accompanying tissues, protrude through the child’s back and is general treated through surgery right after birth to avoid complications and infection such as meningitis

Huntington’s disease

Huntington’s disease is a degenerative disease that causes the progressive breakdown of the nerve cells in the brain, resulting in mobility, cognitive and psychiatric disorders. Symptoms include involuntary movements, the rigidity of the muscles, slow or abnormal eye movements and difficulty with speech and swallowing.

Cerebral palsy

This condition is a combination of disorders that affect movement, coordination and in some cases, vision, hearing and sensation. Cerebral palsy occurs due to abnormal brain development or injury to the developing brain. The damage usually occurs during birth but can also occur in the guest years of life. Symptoms may include delayed motor skills, extreme variations in muscle too – either being too stiff or too floppy, speech development delays or difficulty speaking, lack of muscle coordination, excessive drooling or trouble swallowing, seizures, intellectual disabilities and blindness.

Meningitis

Meningitis is the inflammation of the fluid and membranes surrounding the brain and the spinal cord triggering headache, fever and stiff neck. Other symptoms include sudden high fever, nausea, vomiting, seizures, sensitivity to light, trouble concentrating, loss of appetite, rashes on skin and confusion. This is generally caused by a viral infection but can also be the result of a bacterial, parasitic or fungal infection. Meningitis can be fatal if it is left untreated.

Brain tumours

A brain tumour is a mass or growth of abnormal cells in the brain. Some are benign while others can be malignant. This can also occur from cancers travelling from other parts of the body to the brain. Symptoms include headaches that gradually become frequent and severe, vision problems, balance difficulties, trouble speaking, fatigue, confusion, inability to follow commands, behavioural changes, seizures and problems with hearing.

Tethered cord syndrome

This is a condition where the spinal cord is attached to the tissue around the spine, most commonly at the base of the spine, restricting the spinal cord’s movement within the spinal cord. This leads to pain, nerve damage and other symptoms.

There's nothing blissful than hearing a child's laugh or watch them grow right before our eyes. It's another story when their health takes a different turn and our hearts ache while they lay incapacitated with a chronic disease or health condition.
