Question 2

what are the common symptoms of testicular atrophy?

Accepted Answer

Small/shrunk testes: Check out http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/161858.php for difference btwn sign vs symptom. Typically, you (as patient) report symptoms while we (as docs) note signs, although some conditions such as small/shrunk testes can be both. Of note, testicular atrophy is usually painless &amp; insidious. It's also commonly associated w/unmonitored testicular replacement therapy. Go see your family doc

Question 3

what are different signs and symptoms of disuse atrophy (subjective and objective)?

Accepted Answer

Hmmm: Weakness, malaise i guess, generally you see a decrease in mucscle mass.

You can examine the patient but perhaps there are imaging means to estimate muscle mass. 

I think your doctor might just look at muscle girth as an objective measurement.

Subjective is what you the subject feels.

Question 4

what are the common symptoms of optic atrophy?

Accepted Answer

Blindness: The optic nerve is what lets you see. The more it atrophies, the more vision you lose.

Question 5

what are the symptoms of optic atrophy in glaucoma?

Accepted Answer

Decreased vision: Atrophy of the optic nerve implies that there is loss of tissue (ganglion cell axons) and correspondingly loss of function. Technically it's a neuropathy and the causes are any disease that affects the ganglion cell axons from the eye to the lateral geniculate nucleus in the brain. In glaucoma it's believed to the result of too high or unstable  IOP which  damages axons causing vision loss.

Question 6

what are the symptoms of neurogenic atrophy in thenar muscle from nerve injury?

Accepted Answer

Thenar atrophy: The thenar muscles are at the base of the thumb. Normally they are rounded and when there is atrophy the thenar eminence becomes flat. The thenar muscles are used to perform fine motor movements between the thumb and fingers such as picking up a coin, buttoning a shirt, or turning a key. The most common condition is carpal tunnel syndrome. See a neurologist for evaluation.

Question 7

what are symptoms of neurogenic atrophy in thenar muscle from nerve damage? can it be treated?

Accepted Answer

Nerve damage: Weakness of the thenar muscles leads to weakness in grip, opening jars, and difficulty with daily hygiene. Occupational therapy can rebuild strength in the hand. See a neurosurgeon for evaluation of the weakness.

Question 8

what symptoms of peroneal muscular atrophy are the most important?

Accepted Answer

Peroneal muscles: Charcot-marie-tooth disease (hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy) is a group of hereditary disorders that affects the nerves in your arms and legs. It causes muscle weakness and decreased muscle bulk with limited decreased sensation. Foot deformities such as hammertoes and high arches are common in charcot-marie-tooth disease. Muscle weakness and loss of balance can make walking difficult.

Question 9

please tell me what are the usual symptoms of spinal muscular atrophy?

Accepted Answer

Weakness: Term implies a type of genetic disorder, which has several variations, and usually presents in early childhood.  It may present as a "floppy infant", but can also cause a progressive generalized symmetrical weakness and muscular atrophy, more proximal than distal.  Difficulty swallowing and breathing may be seen late in the disorder.

Question 10

hi, i've seen 3 neurologists. is it possible for all 3 to miss symptoms of multiple system atrophy?

Accepted Answer

Possible: Possible  but I don't think likely.  It's difficult to diagnose because it is so similar to Parkinsons .Why are you worried about something that is so rare?  Did you express this concern to the three neurologists you saw?
