A logical step-wise approach is essential to attempt to sort out any neurological presentation. This approach relies primarily on establishing if and where a lesion is within the nervous system, based on the neurological examination (ie, determining the neuroanatomical diagnosis). A shortlist of differentials is then drawn up, based on the history and neuroanatomical diagnosis, and diagnostic tests are carefully chosen to investigate this list of differentials. The choice and interpretation of these tests must rely on a clear knowledge of the neuroanatomical diagnosis and the expected disease processes. Failure to consider lesion location within the nervous system, and what kind of disease processes may be there, is the most common cause of failure in the diagnosis of neurological conditions.
