hi.
  i wanted to download the ppt presentation on localization of neurological lesions since im still not very clear on how to do that..However i couldnt find the download link..how do i download the ppt presentations?

I could download the umn and lmn ppt and f ound it very useful in understanding the conditions..However im unable to download the other neurology presentations..could u please attach them in a message?

Although it is possible to localize a problem to the brain, and sometimes to localize a problem within the brain, it must be remembered that clinical signs may be the same regardless of the underlying cause. Clinical signs reflect the location of a problem. Brain tumors, infections, congenital disorders, trauma, vascular disorders, degeneration, immunologic and metabolic disorders, toxicities, and idiopathic disorders may result in similar clinical signs. For this reason it is essential to follow a logical diagnostic plan for a cat or dog with signs of brain dysfunction.

Following a complete history and physical and neurological examinations, a minimum data base should be obtained. This should include a hemogram, serum chemistry panel, and urinalysis. Survey thoracic radiographs and abdominal ultrasound help to rule out problems elsewhere. The major objective in doing these tests is to exclude disease outside the brain as a cause of the signs of cerebral dysfunction.

Plain skull radiographs are useful for detecting problems of the skull or nasal cavity that may have extended to the brain. Occasionally, lysis or hyperostosis of the skull may accompany a primary brain tumor (e.g., meningioma of cats) or there may be mineralization within a neoplasm. Skull radiographs are of little value in detecting dysfunction within the brain.
