Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy- MedGen UID:
- 930396
- •Concept ID:
- C4304727
- •
- Finding
Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is a sudden, unexpected, witnessed or unwitnessed, non-traumatic and non-drowning death, occurring in benign circumstances, in an individual with epilepsy, with or without evidence for a seizure and excluding documented status epilepticus, in which postmortem examination has not revealed a cause of death.
Gastrostomy tube feeding in infancy- MedGen UID:
- 892362
- •Concept ID:

Cerebellar ataxia- MedGen UID:
- 849
- •Concept ID:
- C0007758
- •
- Disease or Syndrome
Cerebellar ataxia refers to ataxia due to dysfunction of the cerebellum. This causes a variety of elementary neurological deficits including asynergy (lack of coordination between muscles, limbs and joints), dysmetria (lack of ability to judge distances that can lead to under- or overshoot in grasping movements), and dysdiadochokinesia (inability to perform rapid movements requiring antagonizing muscle groups to be switched on and off repeatedly).
Chorea- MedGen UID:
- 3420
- •Concept ID:
- C0008489
- •
- Disease or Syndrome
Chorea (Greek for 'dance') refers to widespread arrhythmic involuntary movements of a forcible, jerky and restless fashion. It is a random-appearing sequence of one or more discrete involuntary movements or movement fragments. Movements appear random because of variability in timing, duration or location. Each movement may have a distinct start and end. However, movements may be strung together and thus may appear to flow randomly from one muscle group to another. Chorea can involve the trunk, neck, face, tongue, and extremities.
Dystonic disorder- MedGen UID:
- 3940
- •Concept ID:
- C0013421
- •
- Sign or Symptom
An abnormally increased muscular tone that causes fixed abnormal postures. There is a slow, intermittent twisting motion that leads to exaggerated turning and posture of the extremities and trunk.
Myoclonus- MedGen UID:
- 10234
- •Concept ID:
- C0027066
- •
- Finding
Very brief, involuntary random muscular contractions occurring at rest, in response to sensory stimuli, or accompanying voluntary movements.
Motor stereotypies- MedGen UID:
- 21318
- •Concept ID:
- C0038271
- •
- Individual Behavior
Use of the same abnormal action in response to certain triggers or at random. They may be used as a way to regulate one's internal state but must otherwise have no apparent functional purpose.
Arachnoid cyst- MedGen UID:
- 86860
- •Concept ID:
- C0078981
- •
- Disease or Syndrome
An extra-parenchymal and intra-arachnoidal collection of fluid with a composition similar to that of cerebrospinal fluid.
Choreoathetosis- MedGen UID:
- 39313
- •Concept ID:
- C0085583
- •
- Disease or Syndrome
Involuntary movements characterized by both athetosis (inability to sustain muscles in a fixed position) and chorea (widespread jerky arrhythmic movements).
Tonic seizure- MedGen UID:
- 82855
- •Concept ID:
- C0270844
- •
- Disease or Syndrome

- 141670
- •Concept ID:

Global developmental delay- MedGen UID:
- 107838
- •Concept ID:
- C0557874
- •
- Finding
A delay in the achievement of motor or mental milestones in the domains of development of a child, including motor skills, speech and language, cognitive skills, and social and emotional skills. This term should only be used to describe children younger than five years of age.
Inability to walk- MedGen UID:
- 107860
- •Concept ID:
- C0560046
- •
- Finding
Incapability to ambulate.
Focal-onset seizure- MedGen UID:
- 199670
- •Concept ID:
- C0751495
- •
- Disease or Syndrome
A focal-onset seizure is a type of seizure originating within networks limited to one hemisphere. They may be discretely localized or more widely distributed, and may originate in subcortical structures.
Status epilepticus without prominent motor symptoms- MedGen UID:
- 199677
- •Concept ID:
- C0751523
- •
- Disease or Syndrome
There is inconclusive evidence to precisely define the duration of the seizure; however, based on current evidence an operational threshold of 10 minutes is appropriate as beyond this a seizure is likely to be more prolonged. The individual may or may not be aware or in coma.
Epileptic spasm- MedGen UID:
- 315948
- •Concept ID:
- C1527366
- •
- Disease or Syndrome
A sudden flexion, extension, or mixed extension-flexion of predominantly proximal and truncal muscles that is usually more sustained than a myoclonic movement but not as sustained as a tonic seizure. Limited forms may occur
Focal hemiclonic seizure- MedGen UID:

- C1846620
- •
- Disease or Syndrome

Brisk reflexes- MedGen UID:
- 382164
- •Concept ID:
- C2673700
- •
- Finding
Tendon reflexes that are noticeably more active than usual (conventionally denoted 3+ on clinical examination). Brisk reflexes may or may not indicate a neurological lesion. They are distinguished from hyperreflexia by the fact that hyerreflexia is characterized by hyperactive repeating (clonic) reflexes, which are considered to be always abnormal.

Myoclonic absence seizure- MedGen UID:
- 869094
- •Concept ID:
- C4023512
- •
- Disease or Syndrome
Myoclonic absence seizure is a type of generalized non-motor (absence) seizure characterized by an interruption of ongoing activities, a blank stare and rhythmic three-per-second myoclonic movements, causing ratcheting abduction of the upper limbs leading to progressive arm elevation, and associated with 3 Hz generalized spike-wave discharges on the electroencephalogram. Duration is typically 10-60 s. Whilst impairment of consciousness may not be obvious the ILAE classified this seizure as a generalized non-motor seizure in 2017.

Generalized non-motor (absence) seizure- MedGen UID:
- 1385688
- •Concept ID:
- C4316903
- •
- Disease or Syndrome
A generalized non-motor (absence) seizure is a type of a type of dialeptic seizure that is of electrographically generalized onset. It is a generalized seizure characterized by an interruption of activities, a blank stare, and usually the person will be unresponsive when spoken to. Any ictal motor phenomena are minor in comparison to these non-motor features.
Myoclonic seizure- MedGen UID:
- 1385980
- •Concept ID:
- C4317123
- •
- Sign or Symptom
A myoclonic seizure is a type of motor seizure characterized by sudden, brief (<100 ms) involuntary single or multiple contraction of muscles or muscle groups of variable topography (axial, proximal limb, distal). Myoclonus is less regularly repetitive and less sustained than is clonus.
Hypoplastic hippocampus- MedGen UID:
- 1388294
- •Concept ID:
- C4476822
- •
- Congenital Abnormality
Underdevelopment of the hippocampus.
Hypotonia- MedGen UID:
- 10133
- •Concept ID:
- C0026827
- •
- Finding
Hypotonia is an abnormally low muscle tone (the amount of tension or resistance to movement in a muscle). Even when relaxed, muscles have a continuous and passive partial contraction which provides some resistance to passive stretching. Hypotonia thus manifests as diminished resistance to passive stretching. Hypotonia is not the same as muscle weakness, although the two conditions can co-exist.
Scoliosis- MedGen UID:
- 11348
- •Concept ID:
- C0036439
- •
- Disease or Syndrome
The presence of an abnormal lateral curvature of the spine.
Axial hypotonia- MedGen UID:

- •Concept ID:
- C1853743
- •
- Finding
Muscular hypotonia (abnormally low muscle tone) affecting the musculature of the trunk.
Narrow mouth- MedGen UID:
- 44435
- •Concept ID:

Hypertelorism- MedGen UID:
- 9373
- •Concept ID:
- C0020534
- •
- Finding
Although hypertelorism means an excessive distance between any paired organs (e.g., the nipples), the use of the word has come to be confined to ocular hypertelorism. Hypertelorism occurs as an isolated feature and is also a feature of many syndromes, e.g., Opitz G syndrome (see 300000), Greig cephalopolysyndactyly (175700), and Noonan syndrome (163950) (summary by Cohen et al., 1995).
