RATIONALE
Nervous system is the most complex system of the body. A large number of diseases involve the
nervous system in their primary pathology or the nervous system may de secondarily involved in
systemic illnesses. Infections like meningitis and encephalitis, movement disorders, demyelinating
diseases, epilepsy and cerebrovascular accidents along with congenital and traumatic disorders are
some of the common diseases of the nervous system. Timely diagnosis and management prevents
high morbidity and mortality. The Neurosciences 1 module in the basic cycle has already provided
a sound basis of the anatomy, physiology, neuropharmacology and pathologic basis of CNS
diseases. In this second, clinical spiral, the student will learn the clinical presentation, diagnosis
and management of these diseases.
MOULE OBJECTIVES

neuron, nerve and neuroglia
management
mpare primary and secondary headache
general, regional and local anesthesia
the approach for assessment and management of adult as well as pediatric stroke,
dementia and Parkinson’s disease
infection and discuss the management
