Question 8

are focal neurologic deficits always symptomatic?

Accepted Answer

Please repost: Not sure what you're asking. A symptom is what a patient experiences &amp; tells the clinician. A sign is what the clinician finds on examination. You like the symptoms &amp; signs to match up. That makes everything easier. You can have symptoms without signs ("I feel jittery") &amp; vice versa, e.g. a heart murmur or elevated blood pressure. You need to rephrase your question so it makes sense.

Question 9

res dr i want to know differences between mono focal and focal lences?

Accepted Answer

Lenses: I am guessing that you mean mono lenses and bifocal lenses.  The former is single vision with one focal point.  The bifocal has two focal points, one for near and one for far.  You are in the age group where that might be helpful.

Question 10

Agnosia: The definition of  neurologic deficit is a symptomatic abnormality.  In certain cases patients with anosagnosia which is a lack of awareness or a denial of a neurologic defect or illness in general, especially paralysis, on one side of the body. It may be attributable to a lesion in the right parietal lobe. Similarly patients have phantom limb pain or Antons syndrome (not accepting being blind)
