Description
|
| PH601 | Abscess, cerebellum | a localised collection of pus caused by suppuration in the cerebellum | |
| PH602 | Cerebellum | the portion of the brain in the back of the head between the cerebrum and the brain stem; it controls balance for walking and standing, and other complex motor functions | |
| PH603 | Cerebral hemorrhage | cerebral haemorrhage | a sudden and abrupt bleeding into the tissue of the brain; usually occurs as the result of a weakened artery from the effects of high blood pressure and atherosclerosis |
| PH604 | Cerebral softening | a localised softening of the brain substance due to inflammation or haemorrhage | |
| PH605 | Cerebrum | the largest part of the brain, controlling muscle functions speech, thought, emotions, reading, writing, and learning | |
| PH606 | Dementia, paralytica | paralytic dementia | dementia and paralysis resulting from a chronic syphilitic meningoencephalitis |
| PH607 | Encephalitis, post-vaccinal | inflammation of the brain as a result of vaccination | |
| PH608 | Glioblastoma multiforme | a malignant brain tumour that accounts for 75% of glial tumours (arising from glial cells in the brain). | |
| PH609 | Hippocampus | part of the limbic system of the brain, involved in emotions and memory | |
| PH610 | Infarct, cortical, brain | tissue death due to a local lack of oxygen in the cerebral cortex (outer layer that covers the cerebrum, functions chiefly in coordination of sensory and motor information) | |
| PH611 | Infarct, old, cerebellum | an old area of tissue death due to a local lack of oxygen in the cerebellum (concerned especially with the coordination of muscles and the maintenance of bodily equilibrium) | |
| PH612 | Medulla oblongata | lower part of brain stem; controls autonomic functions; relays nerve signals between the brain and spinal cord | |
| PH613 | Meningioma, brain | common benign brain tumour that originates in the cells of the outer covering of the brain (meninges) | |
| Code | Name | Alternative Name | Description |
| PH614 | Meningioma, brain, malignant | malignant tumour the cells of the outer covering of the brain (meninges) | |
| PH615 | Meningitis with cortical oedema | inflammation of the meninges with fluid retention in the cortex | |
| PH616 | Meningitis, pneumococcal | inflammation of the meninges of the brain as a result of infection by strep pneumoniae | |
| PH617 | Meningitis, tuberculous | inflammation of the meninges of the brain as a result of tuberculosis | |
| PH618 | Nerve | a bundle of fibers that uses electrical and chemical signals to transmit sensory and motor information from one body part to another | |
| PH619 | Nerve, peripheral | the nerves outside of the brain and spinal cord; they contain non-neuronal cells and connective tissue as well as axons | |
| PH620 | Neuroblastoma | cancer that arises in immature nerve cells and affects mostly infants and children | |
| PH621 | Neurofibroma | a benign tumor that develops from the cells and tissues that cover nerves | |
| PH622 | Pilocytic astrocytoma, brain | juvenile astrocytoma | a nerve-tissue tumor composed of astrocytes; the most common brain tumor in children |
| PH623 | Sympathetic ganglion | a group of nerve cell bodies either close to the spinal column or close to the large abdominal arteries | |
| PH624 | Thalamus | a large mass of gray matter deeply situated in the forebrain; relays information received from various brain regions to the cerebral cortex | |
| PH625 | Toxoplasmosis, brain | brain showing symptoms caused by toxoplasma gondii, often contacted via cat faeces | |
