COMMON CONDITIONS SEEN AT

Making an accurate diagnosis of acute and/or chronic neurological events relies on history taking, examination, and often diagnostic tests. Dr Kerr will often make an initial 'Differential' or 'Probable' diagnosis. For some patients further symptoms develop or further information comes to light in the months or years to come, which can affect the 'Final' diagnosis.
