Dysarthria- MedGen UID:
- 8510
- •Concept ID:
- C0013362
- •
- Mental or Behavioral Dysfunction
Dysarthric speech is a general description referring to a neurological speech disorder characterized by poor articulation. Depending on the involved neurological structures, dysarthria may be further classified as spastic, flaccid, ataxic, hyperkinetic and hypokinetic, or mixed.
Fatigable weakness- MedGen UID:
- 451076
- •Concept ID:
- C0947912
- •
- Disease or Syndrome
A type of weakness that occurs after a muscle group is used and lessens if the muscle group has some rest. That is, there is diminution of strength with repetitive muscle actions.
Easy fatigability- MedGen UID:

Increased susceptibility to fatigue.
Motor delay- MedGen UID:

Decreased size of nerve terminals- MedGen UID:
- 871144
- •Concept ID:
- C4025615
- •
- Anatomical Abnormality
A reduction in the size of nerve terminals.
Hypotonia- MedGen UID:
- 10133
- •Concept ID:
- C0026827
- •
- Finding
Hypotonia is an abnormally low muscle tone (the amount of tension or resistance to movement in a muscle). Even when relaxed, muscles have a continuous and passive partial contraction which provides some resistance to passive stretching. Hypotonia thus manifests as diminished resistance to passive stretching. Hypotonia is not the same as muscle weakness, although the two conditions can co-exist.
Muscle spasm- MedGen UID:
- 52431
- •Concept ID:
- C0037763
- •
- Sign or Symptom
Sudden and involuntary contractions of one or more muscles.
Gowers sign- MedGen UID:
- 65865
- •Concept ID:
- C0234182
- •
- Finding
A phenomenon whereby patients are not able to stand up without the use of the hands owing to weakness of the proximal muscles of the lower limbs.
Facial palsy- MedGen UID:
- 87660
- •Concept ID:
- C0376175
- •
- Disease or Syndrome
Facial nerve palsy is a dysfunction of cranial nerve VII (the facial nerve) that results in inability to control facial muscles on the affected side with weakness of the muscles of facial expression and eye closure. This can either be present in unilateral or bilateral form.
Muscular atrophy- MedGen UID:
- 892680
- •Concept ID:
- C0541794
- •
- Pathologic Function
The presence of skeletal muscular atrophy (which is also known as amyotrophy).
Decreased muscle mass- MedGen UID:
- 373256
- •Concept ID:
- C1837108
- •
- Finding
Generalized hypotonia- MedGen UID:
- 346841
- •Concept ID:
- C1858120
- •
- Finding
Generalized muscular hypotonia (abnormally low muscle tone).
Type 2 muscle fiber atrophy- MedGen UID:
- 355249
- •Concept ID:
- C1864580
- •
- Pathologic Function
Atrophy (wasting) affecting primary type 2 muscle fibers. This feature in general can only be observed on muscle biopsy.
EMG: decremental response of compound muscle action potential to repetitive nerve stimulation- MedGen UID:
- 892749
- •Concept ID:
- C4021728
- •
- Finding
A compound muscle action potential (CMAP) is a type of electromyography (EMG). CMAP refers to a group of almost simultaneous action potentials from several muscle fibers in the same area evoked by stimulation of the supplying motor nerve and are recorded as one multipeaked summated action potential. This abnormality refers to a greater than normal decrease in the amplitude during the course of the investigation.
Arthrogryposis multiplex congenita- MedGen UID:
- 1830310
- •Concept ID:
- C5779613
- •
- Disease or Syndrome
Multiple congenital contractures in different body areas.
Respiratory insufficiency due to muscle weakness- MedGen UID:
- 812797
- •Concept ID:
- C3806467
- •
- Finding
Weak cry- MedGen UID:
- 65892
- •Concept ID:
- C0234860
- •
- Finding
Dental malocclusion- MedGen UID:
- 9869
- •Concept ID:
- C0024636
- •
- Anatomical Abnormality
Dental malocclusion refers to an abnormality of the occlusion, or alignment, of the teeth and the way the upper and lower teeth fit together, resulting in overcrowding of teeth or in abnormal bite patterns.
High palate- MedGen UID:
- 66814
- •Concept ID:
- C0240635
- •
- Congenital Abnormality
Height of the palate more than 2 SD above the mean (objective) or palatal height at the level of the first permanent molar more than twice the height of the teeth (subjective).
Mandibular prognathia- MedGen UID:
- 98316
- •Concept ID:
- C0399526
- •
- Finding
Abnormal prominence of the chin related to increased length of the mandible.

- Finding
Facial height (length) is more than 2 standard deviations above the mean (objective); or, an apparent increase in the height (length) of the face (subjective).
Decreased fetal movement- MedGen UID:
- 68618
- •Concept ID:
- C0235659

- 21337
- •Concept ID:
- C0038379
- •
- Disease or Syndrome
A misalignment of the eyes so that the visual axes deviate from bifoveal fixation. The classification of strabismus may be based on a number of features including the relative position of the eyes, whether the deviation is latent or manifest, intermittent or constant, concomitant or otherwise and according to the age of onset and the relevance of any associated refractive error.
Ophthalmoparesis- MedGen UID:
- 155551
