How to Localize Neurologic Lesions by Physical Examination

How to Localize Neurologic Lesions by Physical Examination

The human brain has a highly complex structure. It contains billions of neurons wired together through trillions of connections. Each portion of the brain has a distinct set of functions. Damage to a part of the brain results in characteristic clinical manifestations. Knowledge of neuroanatomy, functions of different parts of the brain, and clinical manifestations resulting from damage to a part of the brain are paramount in localizing a neurological lesion. Health professionals are often challenged with the complexity of this knowledge. This activity highlights the role of the physical examination in the localization of a neurological lesion and aims to deliver a succinct and easy-to-review overview of the subject.
