Focal neurological deficits may be caused by a variety of medical conditions such as head trauma, [1] tumors or stroke; or by various diseases such as meningitis or encephalitis or as a side effect of certain medications such as those used in anesthesia. [2] Neurological soft signs are a group of non-focal neurologic signs. [3]
This is a list of major and frequently observed neurological disorders (e.g., Alzheimer's disease), symptoms (e.g., back pain), signs (e.g., aphasia) and syndromes (e.g., Aicardi syndrome). There is disagreement over the definitions and criteria used to delineate various disorders and whether some of these conditions should be classified as ...
Subsets of functional neurological disorder include functional neurologic symptom disorder (FNsD), functional movement disorder, and functional seizures. The diagnosis is made based on positive signs and symptoms in the history and examination during consultation of a neurologist. [3]

Patients may have a history of loss of consciousness but they recover and do not relapse. Clinical onset occurs over hours. Complications include focal neurologic deficits depending on the site of hematoma and brain injury, increased intracranial pressure leading to herniation of brain and ischemia due to reduced blood supply and seizures.
Patient understanding of the new diagnosis is crucial for their treatment, which requires their active participation. [24] A negative diagnosis experience may cause frustration and could cause a person to reject any further attempts at treatment. Psychotherapy, particularly cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), is most frequently used to treat PNES.
Focal neurological signs indicate something is pushing against nerves in the brain responsible for one part of the body: Neuroimaging, blood tests for collagen vascular diseases Change in personality, consciousness, or mental status: Central nervous system infection, intracranial bleed, mass
A focal lesion causes damage that also disturbs the structural and functional connectivity to the brain areas distal to the lesion. The primary mechanism of diaschisis is functional deafferentation, [7] which is the loss of the input of information from the part of the brain that is now damaged. The decrease in information and neural firing to ...
