Clinical History and Neurological Examination

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Dementia in Clinical Practice: A Neurological Perspective

Abstract

This chapter considers important aspects in the clinical history, including single item cognitive screening questions and family history, in the diagnosis of cognitive disorders, and also examines the diagnostic utility of various “non-canonical” neurological signs (attended alone, head turning, applause, la maladie du petit papier).
