Why did my neurology examination reveal normal findings in the upper limbs but not normal in the lower limbs?

Anatomy: Neurological conditions vary in anatomical location. For example, if the spinal cord is involved below the neck, the legs are afflicted, but the arms are fine. Some peripheral nerve problems start in the legs first, and move upwards. Some brain lesions affect legs only (parasaggital meningiomas).. Since there are so many variations, sit down with your doctor and get more information.

Hard to say: This is really impossible to answer correctly without more history and physical exam information but peripheral neuropathy could do this.
