About this book

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.
