Diagnosis in suspected neurological disease
View through CrossRef
It is not always clear that a symptom is due to a problem in the nervous system. Delirium, generalized weakness, and fatigue are frequently due to systemic illness. Transient loss of consciousness may have a neurological or cardiac cause. It is, therefore, important to keep an open mind before focusing on a primary neurological diagnosis in these presentations. The principles of the neurological method are described in this chapter, followed by its application in common clinical presentations.
