A comprehensive neurological assessment is essential for identifying and evaluating symptoms. This assessment typically includes:
Patient history: Gathering information about the onset, duration, and characteristics of symptoms, along with any relevant medical history. Physical examination: Assessing cranial nerve function, muscle strength, coordination, reflexes, and sensory perception. Mental status examination: Evaluating cognitive functions such as orientation, memory, attention, and language. Diagnostic tests: Ordering or reviewing imaging studies, blood tests, and other investigations to identify underlying causes.
