An updated edition of the classic step-by-step guide to the diagnostic neurologic examination
For more than four decades, DeMyers The Neurologic Examination has provided neurologists and psychiatrists in training with a uniquely clear and didactic way of learning the complicated technique of using the physical examination to diagnose neurologic illness. This trusted classic also reviews the neuroanatomy and physiology necessary to interpret the examination and details the laboratory tests best suited to each clinical problem. With its learn-at-your-own-pace teaching approach, DeMyers allows readers to work through real-life clinical situations and rehearse the skills and procedures that make the neurologic examination productive for both patient and clinician. The book begins with an overview of the neurologic examination of mental status, speech, head and face, cranial nerves, somatic motor and sensory systems, and cerebral functions. Subsequent chapters fully explain each of these parts of the examination. In these expanded chapters, the reader works through clinical situations, rehearsing the real life procedures for eliciting neurologic symptoms and working through a diagnosis.
