The book shares the basics of neurological examination, and in some cases, in-depth knowledge of how to evaluate a patient neurologically, whether in the ward or in the emergency department. The manual contains 12 chapters, starting with the assessment of cranial nerves, ending with the examination of the unconscious patient. The structure of the e-book allows for the presentation of patient examination techniques and typical pictures of diseases through more than 100 videos, 90 images, and 7 tables. Chapter 12 presents material for the evaluation of some acute psychiatric diseases, since a patient with a similar problem may encounter any neurologist or doctor of another specialty during his practical work.
