AB Neurological  disorders  include  many  diseases  and  conditions  of  acute  and  chronic  development.  The  etiology  of  these  disorders  can  be  infectious,  toxic,  genetic,  traumatic,  and  ischemic,  and  related  to  other  chronic  pathophysiologies.  The  occurrence  may  be  at  birth,  which  may  confer  a  lifelong  disability,  or  may  occur  in  middle  or  late  life,  which  may  result  in  progressive  disability  and  death.  Neurological  disorders  may  have  an  insidious  onset  or  have  symptoms  that  are  nonspecific,  making  classification  difficult.  Early  stages  of  some  disorders  are  characterized  by  a  variable  presentation  or  by  subtle  signs  and  symptoms  that  are  difficult  to  detect  or  that  go  unrecognized.  Individuals  often  ignore  symptoms  until  function  is  impaired.  Some  disorders  in  children  may  be  developmental  and  may  go  undetected  until  the  children  reach  the  age  at  which  deficits  could  be  assessed.  Hence,  recognition,  diagnosis,  and  progression  of  neurological  symptoms  may  affect  the  true  magnitude  and  onset  of  neurological  disorders.
