,Define Dysgeusia - ✔✔Distortion of sense of taste. Used to describe seizure or aura with
taste component.
Define Dystonia - ✔✔Neurological movement disorder, in which sustained muscle
contractions cause twisting and repetitive movements or abnormal postures.
Define Ataxia - ✔✔Loss of the ability to coordinate muscular movement. Results in gait
disturbance
Define Caraplexy - ✔✔Sudden, transient episode of loss of muscle tone accompanied by
full conscious awareness, often triggered by emotions such as laughing, crying, terror
Define EEG in Caraplexy - ✔✔EEG is normal
Define Narcolepsy - ✔✔Chronic neurological disorder caused by the brain's inability to
regulate sleep-wake cycles normally
Define EEG in Narcolepsy - ✔✔Sleep onset REM sleep
Define Wallenbergs Syndrome - ✔✔Lateral medullary syndrome is a disease in which
the patient has a constellation of neurologic symptoms due to injury to the lateral part
of the medulla in the brain, resulting in tissue ischemia and necrosis. This syndrome is
characterized by sensory deficits affecting the trunk (torso) and extremities on the
opposite side of the infarction and sensory deficits affecting the face and cranial nerves
on the same side with the infarct. Specifically, there is a loss of pain and temperature
