  • Have a serious impact on the motor neurons
  • Motor neurons are the cells that are responsible for controlling activities related to voluntary muscles such as:
    • Speaking
    • Walking
    • Breathing
    • Swallowing
    • General body movements
  • Get life threatening as well with progression of time
  • Cause progressive infirmity or death in extreme cases
  • Highly impacts brain functioning
  • Makes it difficult for the brain to carry out routine activities
  • Destroys voluntary muscles
  • A tragic and very serious type of disorder that can be caused due to various reasons
Motor Neuron Disease Causes
  • Genetic defect
  • Death or wastage of nerve cells
  • Inability of nerve cells to transmit messages to muscles
  • Muscle weakening
Motor Neuron Disease Symptoms
  • Breathing difficulties
  • Swallowing difficulties
  • Choking easily
  • Drooling
  • Gagging
  • Head drop due to weakness of the neck muscles
  • Muscle cramps
  • Fasciculation known as muscles contractions
  • Muscle weakness that gets worsened with time
  • Commonly involves one part of the body first, such as the arm or hand
  • Eventually leads to difficulty lifting, climbing stairs, and walking
  • Paralysis
  • Speech problems, such as a slow or abnormal speech pattern (slurring of words)
  • Voice changes, hoarseness in the voice
  • Sudden weight loss

Occlical for Retinal Vein Occlusion Treatment

Retinal Vein Occlusion is a medical term used by medical experts to define a condition in which the central retinal vein suffers from occlusion.
Quick Facts
  • Causes occlusion of blood vessels
  • Causes severe impairment to the retina and blindness in severe cases.
  • A patient with Retinal vein occlusion suffers from an obstruction of the veins responsible for carrying blood away from the retina
  • Retina is a layer of tissue  responsible for transfiguring light to nerve signals and sending them back to brain
  • There are a couple of risk factors involved with this disease such as Atherosclerosis, Diabetes and High blood pressure (hypertension)
  • In very severe cases it can also cause other eye conditions, such as glaucoma, macular edema (leakage of fluid in the retina), or vitreous hemorrhage
  • Has bad influence on the eyes
  • Can cause major deterioration if not diagnosed and treated in time
Retinal Vein Occlusion Causes
  • Formation of blood clots
  • Diabetes
  • High Blood Pressure
  • Hardening of arteries
  • Abnormal growth of blood vessels in front part of the eye
  • Blockage of branch veins in retina
Retinal Vein Occlusion Symptoms
  • Loss of vision in severe cases
  • Clear pressure on retinal vein
  • Blurring of the vision
  • High blood pressure
  • High pressure in the arteries
