Thrombose veineuse cérébraleLa thrombose veineuse cérébrale (TVC), appelée aussi thrombophlébite cérébrale ou thrombose des sinus veineux cérébraux, est l'obstruction par un caillot (thrombus) d'un ou plusieurs sinus veineux cérébraux (système veineux drainant le sang du cerveau). C'est une forme rare d'accident vasculaire cérébral (AVC) (moins de 1 %). L'obstruction veineuse entraîne à la fois un défaut de résorption du liquide cérébrospinal et un œdème cérébral, potentiellement responsable respectivement d'une hypertension intracrânienne et de manifestations ischémiques et hémorragiques.
Spastic cerebral palsySpastic cerebral palsy is the type of cerebral palsy characterized by spasticity or high muscle tone often resulting in stiff, jerky movements. Cases of spastic CP are further classified according to the part or parts of the body that are most affected. Such classifications include spastic diplegia, spastic hemiplegia, spastic quadriplegia, and in cases of single limb involvement, spastic monoplegia. Spastic cerebral palsy affects the motor cortex of the brain, a specific portion of the cerebral cortex responsible for the planning and completion of voluntary movement.
Transdiagnostic processA transdiagnostic process is a proposed psychological mechanism underlying and connecting a group of mental disorders. Over the last two centuries, western mental health science has focused on nosology whereby panels of experts identify hypothetical sets of signs and symptoms, label, and compile them into taxonomies such as the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. While this is one of the approaches that has historically driven progress in medicine, such taxonomies have long been controversial on grounds including bias, diagnostic reliability and potential conflicts of interest amongst their promoters.
