Neurological Consultation
What to expect:
A neurology consultation is an appointment with a highly-trained specialist who specialises in the diagnosis and management of conditions that affect the brain, spinal cord, nerves and muscles. To book an appointment with a neurologist, you will need a referral from your health care professional (e.g. general practitioner). A doctor will make a referral available if they have specific questions regarding your neurological health.
During a neurological consultation, the neurologist will try to determine the basis of the presenting problem. To do this, the neurologist will take a medical history that may include information about:
-
The present problem
-
The reason for a neurological consultation
-
Past medical history
-
Hospitalizations
-
Surgical treatments
-
Medicines and medication allergies
The neurologist will then perform a neurological examination. The parts of the examination depend on the history and the problem, but could include:
-
Motor examination–checking muscle strength, mobility and reflexes
-
Sensory examination–checking touch, vibration and position
-
Cerebellar testing–checking coordination
-
Mental examination–checking memory
-
Cranial examination–checking eye and facial movements
