Focal neurologic signs also known as focal neurological deficits or focal CNS signs are impairments of nerve, spinal cord, or brain function that affects a specific region of the body, e.g. weakness in the left arm, the right leg, paresis, or plegia.
A focal neurologic deficit is a problem with nerve, spinal cord, or brain function. It affects a specific location, such as the left side of the face, right arm, or even a small area such as the tongue. Speech, vision, and hearing problems are also considered focal neurological deficits.

The history is key in the initial assessment of stroke and should focus on the symptoms and signs of focal neurologic injury, such as unilateral weakness or sensory deficit, facial...
Focal neurological signs can vary in presentation and severity. They indicate something wrong with the nerves, spinal cord, brain structures, or deeper brain structures. Some common symptoms include weakness, paralysis, aphasia, visual field loss, ataxia, focal seizures, and sensory loss.
Stroke is classically characterized as a neurological deficit attributed to an acute focal injury of the central nervous system (CNS) by a vascular cause, including cerebral infarction, intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), and subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), and is a major cause of disability and death worldwide.
Focal neurologic signs are essential clinical indicators that point towards localized problems within the brain or nervous system. Recognizing these signs and seeking prompt medical attention
Symptoms can include all forms of pain and can involve muscle function, sensation, interpretation of sensory stimuli, the special senses (vision, taste, smell, and hearing), sleep, awareness (consciousness), and mental function (cognition). The following are some examples:
Most patients present with late-stage cerebritis or abscess and clinical signs of an intracerebral mass lesion. The most common symptoms are fever, seizures, nausea, headache, and vomiting. Focal neurologic signs depend on the region of brain involved.
