ABSTRACT

At the outset, the neurologic discipline assumed the responsibility of a general neurologic survey before and after the operative period. This survey followed the outline of the examination form used at the Neurological Institute of New York. Because of the overlap of disciplines, gross but not definitive examinations were made of visual acuity, fields, auditory acuity, and vestibular function. On the other hand, more than usual attention was paid to two point discrimination and vibratory sense. A supplementary examination of aphasia was performed.
