A rapid succession of alternating contractions and partial relaxations of a muscle
Clonic/Clonus
occurring in some nervous system diseases
Rigid extension of all four extremities w/ hyperpronation of forearms & plantar
Decerebrate posturing
flexion of feet
Posturing manifested by the obtunded patient pulling arms and hands medially
Decorticate posturing
toward the center (core) of the body in response to noxious (harmful) stimuli.
Dermatone the lateral wall of a somite from which the dermis is produced
, acute inflammation of the brain and spinal cord involving the meninges, often due to
Encephalitis
a virus
A chronic disorder characterized by recurrent, unprovoked seizures secondary to
Epilepsy
any underlying brain abnormality.
Hemiparesis muscular weakness or partial paralysis restricted to one side of the body
total or partial paralysis of one side of the body that results from disease of or injury
Hemiplegia
to the motor centers of the brain
Intracranial pressure (ICP) pressure inside the skull, between 5 & 15 mmHG contained with brain tissue and CSF
Clinical assessment tool to evaluate patients level of consciousness. Verbal response,
eye opening, and best motor response.
Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS)
(Best score of 15)
A post infectious disorder following a nonspecific gastrointestinal or respiratory

Meninges
and Pia Mater
Disease marked by inflammation of the meninges relatively mild illness by a virus or
