1.6. Introduction to Neurology, Neurosurgery and Sense Organs
1655-LekM3PMKNEU-J
NEUROLOGY
The seminars shows elements of neurological examination important for syndrom and localisation diagnosis. Expose the most important symptoms suggesting diagnosis of the diseases.The exercise should give the students ability of neurological examination and its interpretation.
OPHTHALMOLOGY
After seminars the student has knowledge about:
- physiology and mechanisms of eyelid’s, conjunctival and orbital diseases
- possible diagnostic methods in eyelid’s, conjunctival and orbital diseases
- the most common symptoms of ocular adnexa and orbital diseases
- methods of conservative treatment in ocular adnexa and orbital diseases
- symptoms of ocular trauma
- methods of conservative and surgical treatment of ocular trauma.
After tutorials student gains practical skills of :
- collecting medical and family history, regarding ocular adnexa and orbital diseases, as well, as consequences of ocular trauma
- eye – movement and diplopia examination
- exophthalmometry measurement
- performing Shirmer’s test
- slit – lamp examination
- first – aid in ocular trauma, including upper eye-lid reversal

Learning outcomes - knowledge
NEUROLOGY
W1 Knows and can differentiate basic neurological syndromes: pyramidal syndrome, flaccid syndrome, cerebellum syndrome, spinal syndromes, meningeal syndrome, extrapyramidal syndrome, intracranial hypertension syndrome, symptoms of cranial and peripheral nerves lesion, impairment of higher intellectual functions (aphasia, dysarthria, alexia)
OPHTHALMOLOGY
W1: Specifies the possible causes, symptoms and diagnostic and management methods in eye-lid’s, conjunctival and orbital diseases (F K_W11)
W2: Describes the ocular complications and how they affect the nearest organs (F K_W11)
W3: Describes the complications of the eye-lids, conjunctiva and orbit in the systemic disorders and therapeutic management
W4: Analyzes and differentiates the similar symptoms in various diseases of eye-lids, conjunctiva and orbit (F K_W11)
W5: Categorizes and differentiates the symptoms of ocular trauma
(F K_W11)
W6: Specifies and gives reasons for the surgical management in ocular trauma (F K_W11)
Learning outcomes - skills
NEUROLOGY
U1 Can perform full neurological examination.
U2 Can distinguish between physiology and pathology of nervous system
U3 Can compose pathological signs and create neurological syndrome, can localize pathology within nervous system
U4 On the base of examination can establish syndrome, localization and etiological hypothesis
OPHTHALMOLOGY
U1: Interprets the clinical picture on the basis of the ophthalmological examination of the eye-lids, conjunctiva and orbit and plans the therapeutic management (F K_U19, E K_U06)
U2: Is able to interpret ocular complications in the eye-lids, conjunctiva and orbit and assess their influence on other organs (F K_U19, E K_U06)
U3: Is able to interpret ocular symptoms in Graves-Basedov disease and propose the therapeutic management (F K_U19, E K_U06)
U4: Is able to interpret the clinical feature of the disease and make a diagnose based on the examination (F K_U19, E K_U06)
U5: Is able to propose a conservative treatment and surgical management in ocular trauma (F K_U19, F K_U20)
U6: Is able to identify sudden ocular conditions, direct the patient to the proper specialist and provide first aid in ocular trauma
(F K_U19, F K_U20)
