Presentation transcript:

Characteristic time courses for various neurologic disorders Characteristic time courses for various neurologic disorders. A: Brief episodes of dysfunction may represent seizures or migraine attacks. B: A pattern of recent-onset headaches on wakening may be caused by an expanding brain tumor. C: A relapsing-remitting course is characteristic of multiple sclerosis. D: Sudden onset of a fixed deficit is characteristic of cerebrovascular disease. E: Slowly progressive dysfunction is suggestive of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's or Parkinson's. F: Subacutely progressive dysfunction, which advances over weeks to months, is often seen with brain tumors.
