4. ANS: CEREBROVASCULAR DISEASE : This includes a variety of diseases that affects the blood vessels and the cerebral circulation of the brain which further results in hemorrhagic stroke.

5. ANS: GLIOMA ( glia- neurogla, oma-tumor ) this is a type of tumor occurs in the brain and spinalcord that begins from glial cells, brain cells that support nerve cells.

6.ANS: ENCEPHALOMALACIA (encephalum-brain, malacia- abnormal softening of tissue) is a type of serious brain damage that results in the softening of brain tissue due to inflammation or hemorrhage.

7. ANS: NEUROPATHY (neuro-nervous system, pathy- suffering or diseases) the disease involving the cranial nerves or peripheral or the autonomic nervous sytem.

8.ANS: HYPERESTHESIA (hyper- excessive, esthesia-sensation) is a condition of abnormal and increase sensitivity stimulus to touch, pain, or anyother sensory stimuli.

11.ANS: MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS (multiple-many, sclerosis- abnormal hardening)is a long term disease that affects the central nervous system.

12.ANS: MYELITIS ( myelo- marrow , itis-inflammation) it disrupt the normal responses of body from the brain and from the brain to the body causing damage to the myelin damage which reults in paralysis and sensory loss.

13.ANS: NEURASTHENIA ( neur- neuron, asthenia- loss of strength or weakness) is a set of psychological and physical symptoms including fatigue, irritability, headache and dizziness due to organic damage such as head injury.
