Neurological examination is an important part in
diagnosing neurological disease and in a child it is
important to determine developmental disorder
because neurological disorder in a child is not always
caused by neurological disease, it can also be
caused by low birth weight, poor nutrition and lack of
sensoric stimulation. These things could inhibit
development in motoric, sensoric, and mental
function.

Conclusion
Neurological examination is important in supporting
the diagnosis of a neurological disease. In children a
neurological examination basically has the same
component as a physical examination of neurology in
adults but with a slightly different approach.
The examination consisted of history, general physical
examination and neurological examination consisting
of mental status examination, motor screening, cranial
nerve, motor, sensory nerves, and cerebellar function.
