A2 - Salardini, Arash A2 - Biller, José PY - 2016 T2 - The Hospital Neurology Book 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.
