Paper IV :- B. Medical Science II (Neurology)
This syllabus is suggested with a view to provide relevant information to the
student of M.Sc. in Audiology and Speech Therapy on the anatomical and physiological
aspects of nervous system and the diseases of nervous system which affect the
language, speech and Hearing, lectures should be supplemented with adequate library
assignments in order to add maximum information on the current trends in the field of
language speech pathology and neurology / neurological conditions.
1. Review of the embryological, anatomic - physiological aspects of the Central and
peripheral nervous system. Emphasis on cerebral hemispheres, subcortical system,
pyramidal and extrapyramidal system and cranial nerves.
2. Brief description of signs symptoms and treatment of diseases of peripheral nervous
system (Motor, sensory and autonomic aspects).
3. Diseases, signs, symptoms and treatment of cranial nerves (Brief review of
congenital, traumatic, inflammatory, vascular, degenerative and SOL conditions
Which have direct bearing on language, Speech and hearing functions.)
4. Space occupying Lesions of the CNS vascular and epileoptegenic disorders of CNS.
5. Acute infections and syphilis of CNS. Meningitis, Poliomyelitis, Encephalitis,
(different types) and Herpes, Table Borsalis, GP I, Congenital neurosyphilis,
