Neurology, Session 2

The neuroanatomical lesion localization – Unlocking the key to a neurological diagnosis

This session focuses on mastering neuroanatomical lesion localization, the second step after the neurological examination and essential for formulating a targeted list of differential diagnoses. Based on the findings of the neurological examination, different systematic approaches are presented to help you navigate through the complexities of the nervous system and accurately identify the neuroanatomical location of the lesion.

Learning Outcomes:
Understand the principles of neuroanatomical lesion localization: Participants will be able to describe the fundamental principles of neuroanatomical lesion localization and its relevance to clinical neurology.
Integrate neurological examination findings with neuroanatomy: Participants will be able to correlate clinical signs observed during a neurological examination with specific regions of the nervous system.
Apply neuroanatomical lesion localization to diagnostic decision-making: Participants will be able to use neuroanatomical localization to prioritize differential diagnoses and guide further diagnostic tests and treatment plans.
