The neurologic examination is often viewed as a daunting monstrosity, byzantine in nature, complex to teach and cumbersome to learn. However, neurologic conditions are not uncommon in GP and hospital practice, and a grounded understanding of pertinent neurologic symptoms, signs and conditions is absolutely vital. This book serves to demystify the seemingly convoluted processes behind the neurologic examination, with chapters focussing on bringing the reader back to the basics, breaking complicated techniques down into its individual steps, supplemented by clear and concise explanation of neurologic principles. The book discusses neurologic signs and symptoms commonly encountered in our daily practice, with flow-charts, pictures and tables to help the reader learn, shape and build a solid foundation in neurology. Tips from examiner and specific case examples are included to improve the reader's grasp of the topics. This easy-to-read guidebook is essential for all medical students and physicians seeking to prepare for their professional examinations, to improve on their care of our patients, or simply to understand the wonderful inner-workings of neurology a little better. Well written textbooks which focus on neurologic examination and written in a palatable manner for the non-neurologist, are rare and few. They are often admixed with other non-neurologic topics (e.g. respiratory, cardiac or abdominal examination), with superficial and cursory discussion of neurologic conditions. At the other end of the spectrum, neurology textbooks are often written in a manner better suited to neurologists than to non-neurologists, struggling to better understand the basic concepts. In my years of teaching students from all 3 local medical schools studying for their undergraduate medical degrees, and medical officers preparing for the MRCP PACES examination, a common problem they encountered was the lack of a palatable yet informative neurologic text which helps them understand the concepts without murdering their interest in the topic. I believe this book serves to fill that gap, and to hopefully better prepare our doctors in their careers, and to nurture their love and interest in this subject I so love.
Clinical Neurological Examination and Localization
Bedside Neurological examination is an important tool in diagnosing neurological disorders . Despite significant advances in the investigations available for diagnosing neurological disorders bedside neurological examination remains the cornerstone in diagnosing neurological disorders and should not only be conducted prior to the investigations but should be actually be utilized to plan the appropriate investigations .The book provides a focused account of various aspects of the neurological examination leading to clinical localisation and hence obtaining the neurological diagnosis. It includes topics like' how to obtain a appropriate neurological history' , 'higher mental system examination', examination of speech and various cranial nerves and examination of other systems including motor system, sensory system, reflexes , cerebellar and autonomic nervous system.The book also includes certain interesting topics like 'neurological examination of the unconscious patient 'and 'tricks and tips of neurological localisation. The book is easy to read and memorize due to multiple self explanatory illustrations and important aspects being highlighted in bulleted format. The book will be of extreme help for MD and DNB students of Internal Medicine as well as DM and DNB students of Neurology and DNB and MCH Neurosurgery students , hence covering a fairly large readership base . It will also be read by practising Internal medicine physicians , neurologists and neurosurgeons who may want to revise the basics and tricks of neurological examination and localization
The Neurologic Examination

The Neurologic Examination: Scientific Basis for Clinical Diagnosis provides a bridge from basic neuroscience such as anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, and molecular biology to clinical symptomatology. Neurologic examinations provide the foundation for diagnosis, and only after a thorough and expertly executed examination can one begin to incorporate laboratory testing and treatment. In contrast with most of the previously published books of clinical neurology which are disease- or anatomy-oriented, this book is organized in terms of functional anatomy of the nervous system. Correct interpretation of symptoms and signs based on modern scientific knowledge is of utmost importance in the diagnosis of neurological diseases. For this purpose, the importance of careful history-taking and physical examination is emphasized, and chapters are arranged in the order of actual steps of neurologic examination. In this new editions, the authors have updated all materials included within. With up-to-date references, new boxes to discuss specific topics of modern interest, and additional chapters and figures, this second edition of The Neurologic Examination: Scientific Basis for Clinical Diagnosis is crucial to neurologists, neurosurgeons, clinicians, and technicians.
