Patient's question:
The nephew of my brother went to his grandmother's house these days, and he hasn't been feeling well since he came back. He can't walk steadily, and after a thorough examination, it was found to be motor neuron disease. Which disease doesn't have motor neuron disease?Doctor's answer:
Motor neuron disease is a chronic progressive neurodegenerative disease with an unclear etiology, which can selectively affect anterior horn cells of the spinal cord, motor neurons in the brainstem, cortical pyramidal cells, and pyramidal tracts. The main cause is currently unclear. It is difficult to perform a careful examination of motor neuron disease in its early atypical stages. Without experience, it may also be difficult to suspect this condition.
