INTRODUCTION A neurological examination is a physical examination conducted by a health care provider which is focused on the nervous system. It is a common part of a complete neurological assessment as may be conducted by various physicians, most commonly a neurologist or neurosurgeon. The goal of the examination is to detect any signs or symptoms related to the nervous systems & its functioning. The neurological examination can be conducted by anyone, including primary care providers such as family practitioner & internal medicine, doctors. However, it is most commonly part of a neurological evaluation by a physician specializing in diseases of the nervous system, such as a neurologist or a neurosurgeon.

It is an of professional assessment of their mental status, or level of alertness & education. consciousness, as well as their higher functions of memory, reasoning, logic & general behavior. While some of this overlaps with a psychological assessment. It is at least in part, a part of the complete neurological examination.  Head & Neck Examination Since the brain and the spinal cord are in the head & neck, a general examination of the head and neck for malformations, abnormal anatomy, mass & other findings is often undertaken.

ASSESSING THE NEUROLOGICAL SYSTEM Begin by asking about the patient’s chief complaint. Then gather details about his current illness, Past illnesses, family history & social history. Also perform a system review. If possible include the patient’s family members or close friends when taking the history. Don’t assume that the patient remembers accurately to collaborate the details with others to get a better picture.  Chief Complaints The most common complaints about the neurologic system include headache, dizziness, faintness, confusion, impaired mental status disturbances in balance and gait, changes in loss of consciousness. When documenting the chief complaints, record the information in the patient’s own words.  Ask about onset and frequency, what precipitates or

 Includes orientation to person, place and time. Glasgow Coma Scale  Minimize level of consciousness subjectivity.  Establishes greater degree of reliability.  Describes patient’s baseline mental status.  Detects & interprets changes from baseline findings.  Evaluate patient’s level of consciousness according to eye opening, verbal and motor responsiveness. Using the Glasgow Coma Scale The Glasgow coma scale describes a patient’s baseline mental status and helps to detect & interpret changes from baseline findings When using the Glasgow coma scale, test the patient’s ability to respond to verbal, motor & sensory stimulation.  Grade your findings according to the scale.  A score of 15 indicates that the patient is alert can follow simple commands and is oriented to person, place and time.  A decreased score in one or more categories may signal an impending neurologic crisis.  A score of 7 or less indicates severe neurologic damage.
