I- Neuroscience 3 History Taking Flashcards
first part of any treatment or any disease
diagnosis
first step in making a diagnosis
classify the syndrome into major disease group
8 scope of neurologic disease/ disease groups
- Vascular diseases
- Infectious Diseases
- Degenerative Disease
- Neoplastic Disease
- Demyelinating group
- Trauma
- Congenital/Developmental Disease
- Metabolic Disease
- Are essential in making a diagnosis and differentials
- Important in finding out what part of the nervous system is affected by the disease
- 80-90% of information
History Taking and Clinical Localization
- The secret to understanding neurologic disease
- Asking the right questions to seek the answer
Neurologic Investigations
Using the data to get into the proper disease category
Neurologic History
This is caused by injury or disease to the blood vessels of the nervous system.
Vascular Disease
This disease includes sinuses and usually abrupt or very rapid onset. Immediate onset to most a few days. Most at minute to hours.
Vascular Disease
Microbes that invades the nervous system
Infectious Diseases
Types of Microbes
- Bacterial
- Viral
- Parasites
- Tuberculous
- Cryptococcal
- Fungal
This disease onsets on few days to few weeks and usually with fever but not all.
Infectious Disease
Largest group of disease
Degenerative Diseases
It means new growth
Neoplastic
Tumors of the nervous system.
Neoplastic Diseases
Grows faster means its…
malignant
Grows slower means its…
benign
This disease onset on few week to several months and the onset of symptoms evolves.
Neoplastic Diseases
The fastest onset in neoplastic diseases is?
3-4 weeks
This type of disease is slow deterioration of neurons or long period of time with normal function of neurons.
Degenerative disease
This disease onsets to several years (continuous deterioration) and may not recognize the symptoms are taking place.
Degenerative Disease
This type of disease is that the nervous system is not the primary area of the disease.
Metabolic Disease
The nervous system affected secondarily
Metabolic Disease
Cardiopulmonary arrest (problem is with the cardiac system) but when the time comes, blood does not flow into the brain which means loss of cortical function. What type of disease is this?
Metabolic Disease
The nervous system is accidentally involved from a disease in another organ system.
Metabolic Disease
This type of disease is due to an abnormality in the development of the nervous system.
Developmental/Congenital Disease
Failure of the neural tube to close. What type of disease is this?
Developmental/ Congenital Disease
This type of disease is inborn or inherited.
Developmental/Congenital Disease
Genetic abnormalities is an example of what disease?
Developmental/Congenital Disease
This type of disease is born without any deficit but as the child grows, clinical symptoms starts to appear.
Developmental/Congenital Disease
This type of disease is the easiest.
Traumatic Diseases
This type of disease is injury to the nervous system from an external force.
Traumatic Diseases
This type of disease is due to destruction of myelin and no common presentation.
Demyelinated Disease
This type of disease can evolve from weeks to months and is diagnosed by exclusion.
Demyelinated Disease
