AB  - KEY  CONCEPTS  Accurate  diagnosis  of  neurological  disorders  leads  to  effective  pharmacotherapy.  The  clinical  neurologic  history  and  examination  are  the  cornerstones  of  neurologic  diagnosis  and  management.  History  and  examination  should  be  modified  for  the  pediatric  patient  as  appropriate.  The  neurologic  history  and  examination  are  directed  at  localization  of  the  disease  process  so  that  a  differential  diagnosis  can  be  formed.  After  forming  the  differential  diagnosis,  appropriate  testing  helps  pinpoint  the  correct  diagnosis.  Accurate  diagnosis  leads  to  appropriate  therapy  and  management  of  neurologic  conditions.  Appropriate  history  taking  and  examination  techniques  are  useful  for  monitoring  and  evaluating  the  pharmacotherapeutic  plan.  Lumbar  puncture  (LP)  should  only  be  performed  when  it  can  be  done  safely.  Relative  contraindications  may  include  increased  intercranial  pressure,  mass  lesions,  papilledema,  and  coagulopathies.
