These are the broad terms used for the nervous disorders as per the area of the lesion. There are various disease names under each term as examples, which will occupy a large space. The doctor initially gives a provisional diagnosis in these terms by seeing the symptoms and will come to a specific disease after investigations. The contrast diagnosis is a herculean task in Neurological disorders as the signs and symptoms have close similarity in most of the cases.
