This lecture will discuss the intricacies of neurolocalization above the foreman magnum – more specifically the forebrain, brainstem and cerebellum. Each portion of the central nervous system will be discussed and correlated with findings on the neurologic examination. The practitioner will be refamiliarized with which neurologic findings correlate with which part of the brain and why this is important as far as determining what differentials are constructed and what diagnostics are recommended. Tips and tricks will be discussed to help the practitioner become more confident in neurolocalization above the foramen magnum and how to make the process easier to understand. 

 

1) The importance of history taking

2) Components of neurolocalization above the foramen magnum

4) Determining differentials based upon the history and signalment of the patient
