Does anyone have a cheat sheet for commonly used neuro abbreviations or a website that may accomodate such a request?
I posted this request awhile ago. I'm going to try again to see if anyone can assist me.
I've attached a commonly used physical exam with the abbreviations that I have questions on in "quotations". I'm trying to count bullets points for neuro physical exam and I get a little stumped with the abbreviations.
GEN: Elderly-appearing and without deformities. Alopecia. Somnolent from opiates.
MS: Oriented to person, place, time. Recent and remote memory intact. Normal attention and concentration.
Fluent spontaneous speech. Intact naming and repetition. Limited fund of knowledge.
CN: Full "VF". PERRL EOMI. V 1-3 intact. Face symm. Hearing intact. Palate midline. "SCM" normal bilaterally. "TML". No dysarthria.
STR: Normal tone, bulk and power in arms and legs, aside from proximal RLE which I am unable to test due to hip fracture. No pronator drift. No abnormal movements.
SENS: Intact "PP, JPS, VIB" throughout.
CERB: "FTN and RAHM" intact bilaterally.
GAIT: Not tested for safety.
"DTR": 2+ symm, Absent Babinski sign bilaterally.
VASC: No peripheral edema. Normal peripheral pulses. No carotid bruits.
EYES: Funduscopic exam reveals no papilledema. No hemorrhage.
CV: Normal rate and rhythm. No murmurs, rubs or gallops.
ABD: NT, ND, no HSM. Normal BS x 4.
RESP: CTAB.
MSK: Right leg is shortened and externally rotated.
