Third nerve palsy (pupil involvement indicates aneurysm), 4. Rombergu2019s test (sensory ataxia), and 5. Pronator drift (corticospinal tract lesion).

  1. 5 Neurology Signs You Should Never Miss! (MRCP) This presentation will cover 5 key neurology signs that can be crucial for your MRCP exam and clinical practice. by Intellect Medicos

  2. Altered Mental Status: Delirium vs. Dementia Delirium Dementia Acute onset, fluctuating course, inattention, disorganized thinking. Gradual onset, progressive course, preserved attention, intact thinking early on.

  3. Pupillary Abnormalities: Unilateral vs. Bilateral Unilateral: Anisocoria, often due to third nerve palsy. Bilateral: Pinpoint pupils, often due to opioid overdose.

  4. Motor Weakness Patterns: Upper vs. Lower Motor Neuron UMN 1 Increased tone, hyperreflexia, spasticity, Babinski's sign. LMN 2 Decreased tone, hyporeflexia, flaccidity, fasciculations.

  5. Sensory Loss Distribution: Dermatomal vs. Peripheral Neuropathy Dermatomal Sensory loss follows a specific dermatome, suggesting nerve root involvement. Peripheral Neuropathy Sensory loss follows a peripheral nerve distribution, like stocking- glove pattern.

  6. Headache Red Flags: Thunderclap and Beyond Thunderclap 1 Sudden, intense headache, like a bolt of lightning. Meningitis 2 Stiff neck, fever, photophobia. Subarachnoid Hemorrhage 3 Worst headache of life, often with neck stiffness.

  7. Case Study 1: Applying the Signs Patient presents with sudden onset of right-sided weakness, difficulty speaking, and altered mental status. 1 Pupils are equal and reactive. There is hyperreflexia in the right arm. 2 Sensory exam reveals right-sided weakness and mild sensory loss in the right face. These findings suggest a right-sided stroke. 3

  8. Case Study 2: Advanced Scenarios Patient B 2 Sudden, severe headache, stiff neck, fever. Patient A 1 Confused, drowsy, with a history of alcohol abuse. Patient C Gradual onset of memory loss, poor judgment, and difficulty with complex tasks. 3

  9. Key Takeaways and Next Steps for MRCP Success Mastering these neurological signs is crucial for MRCP success. This presentation provides a framework for identifying key neurology signs. Review these signs and practice applying them to clinical scenarios.
