Partial Nephrectomy

Neurologists examine patients who are referred to them by other physicians in hospitals and outpatient settings. Neurologists begin their interactions with patients by taking a full medical history and then performing a physical exam focused on assessing the nervous system. Elements of the neurological exam include assessment of the patient's cognitive function, cranial nerves, motive force, sensation, reflexes, coordination and gait. In some cases, neurologists may request additional diagnostic tests as part of the assessment. Commonly used tests in neurology include imaging studies such as axial computed tomography (CAT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and ultrasound of the main blood vessels in the head and neck. Neurophysiological studies, including electroencephalography (EEG), needle electromyography (EMG), nerve conduction studies (NCS) and evoked potentials are also commonly ordered. Neurologists frequently perform lumbar punctures to assess the characteristics of a patient's cerebrospinal fluid. Advances in genetic testing have made genetic testing an important tool in the classification of inherited neuromuscular diseases and the diagnosis of many other neurogenetic diseases. The role of genetic influences on the development of acquired neurological diseases is an active area of research.
