The neurologic examination, often perceived as a formidable and intricate task, can be both daunting and challenging to master. However, it is essential to have a solid grasp of pertinent neurologic symptoms, signs, and conditions in general practice and hospital settings. This book aims to demystify the often convoluted processes behind the neurologic examination, breaking down complex techniques into manageable steps and providing clear and concise explanations of neurologic principles.

The book delves into neurologic signs and symptoms commonly encountered in daily practice, utilizing flowcharts, images, and tables to facilitate learning and understanding. Additionally, tips from examiners and specific case examples are included to enhance the reader's comprehension of the topics. This easy-to-read guidebook is invaluable for medical students and physicians preparing for professional examinations, seeking to enhance patient care, or simply deepening their understanding of the intricate world of neurology.

Unfortunately, well-written textbooks specifically focused on neurologic examination and written in a palatable manner for non-neurologists are scarce. Many textbooks in this field tend to intertwine neurologic topics with other non-neurologic disciplines, offering superficial and cursory discussions of neurologic conditions. On the other hand, neurology textbooks are often written with a primary audience of neurologists, making them challenging for non-neurologists to grasp the fundamental concepts.

During my years of teaching students from all three local medical schools pursuing their undergraduate medical degrees, I have observed that there is a significant need for textbooks that effectively bridge the gap between neurology and non-neurology. Such texts should provide a comprehensive and accessible overview of the neurologic examination, while also offering in-depth explanations of neurologic principles and conditions. By addressing this gap, we can empower medical students and physicians with the knowledge and skills necessary to excel in both general practice and neurology, ultimately improving patient care and advancing the field of medicine.
