AB Changes  in  sensation  are  some  of  the  most  common  neurological  symptoms  in  hospitalized  patients.  Patterns  of  weakness  is  covered  in  Chapter  28.  In  this  chapter,  we  will  survey  an  approach  to  evaluation  of  sensory  changes.  Most  of  the  causes  of  isolated  changes  of  somatosensory  sensation  are  relatively  benign  or  do  not  require  hospital  admission.  In  some  situations,  an  etiology  for  such  findings  confined  to  sensation  may  not  even  be  found.  Conversely,  sensory  deficits  that  are  associated  with  other  neurological  findings  that  point  to  specific  neurological  regions  are  clearly  based  on  organic  pathology,  deserve  attention,  and  help  in  localizing  the  lesion.
