Myelitis is inflammation of the spinal cord which can disrupt the normal responses from the brain to the rest of the body, and from the rest of the body to the brain. . Inflammation in the spinal cord can cause the myelin and axon to be damaged resulting in symptoms such as paralysis and sen
The spinal cord and the brain work together, making them the key components of the central nervous system. [5] Damage to this system affects specific functions of the body, primarily relating to the function of muscles. The areas most commonly injured include the cervical vertebrae (C1-C7), and the lumbar spine (L1-L5). [6]
Brain Tumor Presentations. In general, patients with primary brain tumors or single metastatic tumors can present with any of these signs and symptoms, whereas patients with multiple brain metastases tend to present with generalized symptoms and may lack localized findings. [5] Several clinical features warrant special comment:
Tumors located in the lower part of the cerebrum near the primary visual cortex can cause blurred vision, double vision, or loss of vision. Tumors located in the spinal cord usually have symptoms that start with back pain that spreads towards the arms or legs. These tumors can cause trouble urinating or walking.
It is a popular misconception that MSG can cause headaches and other feelings of discomfort, known as "Chinese restaurant syndrome". Several blinded studies show no such effects when MSG is combined with food in normal concentrations, and are inconclusive when MSG is added to broth in large concentrations.
Spinal nerve compression and weakening of the vertebral structure cause the symptoms. Pain is the most common symptom at presentation. [1] [3] [7] Other common symptoms of spinal cord compression include muscle weakness, sensory loss, numbness in hands and legs, and rapid onset paralysis.

Inflammatory demyelinating diseases (IDDs), sometimes called Idiopathic (IIDDs) due to the unknown etiology of some of them, are a heterogenous group of demyelinating diseases - conditions that cause damage to myelin, the protective sheath of nerve fibers - that occur against the background of an acute or chronic inflammatory process.
