ICD-10 Codes

Description
Based on the provided context, it appears that there are multiple descriptions of outdated or obsolete neurological disorders.
- One description mentions a condition characterized by "impulsive" behavior, outbursts of anger, and a tendency to hurt others for no apparent reason [4]. This condition is likely an outdated term for a specific disorder.
- Another description refers to a group of diseases known as Neuroacanthocytosis (NA) syndromes, which are characterized by the association of red blood cell abnormalities with neurological symptoms [5].
- A third description mentions a condition where people are said to be "converting" psychological trauma into physical symptoms, which is an outdated term for conversion disorder [3].
It's worth noting that these descriptions may not be comprehensive or up-to-date, and may not accurately reflect the current understanding of these conditions. However, they do provide some insight into the historical context and terminology used to describe certain neurological disorders.
- The first description [4] suggests that this condition is characterized by impulsive behavior, outbursts of anger, and a tendency to hurt others for no apparent reason.
- The second description [5] highlights the association between red blood cell abnormalities and neurological symptoms in Neuroacanthocytosis (NA) syndromes.
- The third description [3] mentions conversion disorder as an outdated term for a condition where people are said to be "converting" psychological trauma into physical symptoms.

Additional Characteristics
- Impulsive behavior, outbursts of anger, and tendency to hurt others
- Red blood cell abnormalities with neurological symptoms (Neuroacanthocytosis)
- Conversion of psychological trauma into physical symptoms
Signs and Symptoms
Based on the provided context, it appears that the question is asking about the signs and symptoms of a condition known as FND (Functional Neurological Disorder).
Common Signs and Symptoms of FND:
- Tingling or numbness in the arms, legs, trunk, or face [2]
- Clumsiness, especially difficulty staying balanced when walking [2]
- Weakness or movement problems
- Tremors or seizures/attacks [1]
- Headaches or migraines
- Changes in eyesight, such as blurred vision or seeing flashing lights [3]
Additional Symptoms:
- Memory disturbances (36.6%) [4]
- Problems with swallowing (32%)
- Sexual dysfunction (31.8%)
- Speech problems (31.4%)
- Pain (31%)
- Tremor (28.1%) [4]
Other Possible Symptoms:
- Motor function disturbances
- Sensory and visual dysfunctions (visual loss, diplopia, etc.)
- Speech difficulties
- Seizures or dissociative seizures
- Functional cognitive symptoms [5]
It's worth noting that FND can manifest in many different ways, and not everyone will experience all of these symptoms. If you're looking for more information on this condition, I'd be happy to try and help you find it!

Diagnostic Tests
Based on the provided context, it appears that there are no specific results related to diagnostic tests for an "obsolete" neurological disorder. However, I can provide some general information on diagnostic tests for various neurological disorders.
Common Diagnostic Tests for Neurological Disorders
- Imaging Studies: CT scans, MRI scans, and PET scans are commonly used to diagnose a range of neurological conditions, including stroke, brain tumors, and multiple sclerosis.
- Electrophysiology Tests: EEG (electroencephalogram) tests measure electrical activity in the brain, while EMG (electromyogram) tests assess muscle function. These tests can help diagnose conditions such as epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, and peripheral neuropathy.
- Blood Tests: Blood tests can be used to detect biomarkers for certain neurological disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease or multiple sclerosis.
Specific Diagnostic Tests
While I couldn't find any specific information on diagnostic tests for an "obsolete" neurological disorder, some examples of obsolete neurological conditions include:
- General Paresis: This condition was once thought to be a distinct neurological disorder, but it is now considered a rare manifestation of syphilis. Diagnostic tests may have included lumbar puncture and blood tests.
- Tabes Dorsalis: This condition was characterized by progressive degeneration of the spinal cord and was often associated with syphilis. Diagnostic tests may have included electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction studies.
Please note that these conditions are no longer considered distinct neurological disorders, and their diagnostic tests are not commonly used today.
If you could provide more context or clarify what you mean by "obsolete" neurological disorder, I'd be happy to try and assist you further.

- Imaging Studies
- Electrophysiology Tests
Treatment
Based on the provided context, it appears that there are no specific results related to the "drug treatment" of an "obsolete neurological disorder". However, I can provide some general information about drug treatments for various neurological disorders.
Neurological Disorders and Their Treatments
- Parkinson's Disease: While not obsolete, Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects movement. Drug treatments include dopamine agonists, levodopa, and MAO-B inhibitors.
- Epilepsy: This condition involves recurrent seizures. Medications like phenytoin, carbamazepine, and valproate are used to control seizures.
- Multiple Sclerosis: A chronic autoimmune disease affecting the central nervous system. Disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) like interferon beta-1a and glatiramer acetate are used to manage the condition.
However, without more specific information about the obsolete neurological disorder in question, it's challenging to provide detailed insights into its drug treatment.
If you could provide more context or clarify which specific disorder you're referring to, I'd be happy to try and assist further.

Differential Diagnosis
A differential diagnosis is a process of identifying the possible causes of a patient's symptoms, and it is an essential tool in diagnosing various medical conditions, including neurological disorders.
In the context of obsolete neurological disorders, a differential diagnosis would involve considering the characteristics of the condition, its symptoms, and any relevant diagnostic tests or criteria. Here are some key points to consider:
- Huntington disease: This is a progressive brain disorder that causes uncontrolled movements, cognitive decline, and psychiatric problems. A differential diagnosis for Huntington disease might include other neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, or frontotemporal dementia [5][9].
- Progressive hyperkinetic movement disorders: These are conditions characterized by increasing muscle stiffness and involuntary movements. Differential diagnoses for these conditions might include other causes
