Book Chapter Description

Localization in the clinical setting, is the diagnostic exercise of determining from the signs or symptoms of the patient what site of the nervous system is affected by the disease. A well-developed neurologic examination, after an extensive clinical interrogation of symptoms, should lead to localization in most cases. Syndromatic diagnoses leading to topographic and then to nosologic diagnosis is usually thought during medical formation. Topography refers to the area of the nervous system where the lesion or disease is localized. Some use the term localization indifferently with topographic diagnosis, but both refer to the determination of where in the nervous system is the lesion or damage. The aim of the present chapter is to present the most frequent localization of brain tumors, its clinical presentation, and their prognostic considerations.
