Symptoms

Signs and Tests

An examination may include neurologic, motor, and sensory examination to determine the specific neurologic deficits present, because they often correspond closely to the location of the injury to the brain. The examination may show emboli in the retina, changes in reflexes including abnormal reflexes or abnormal extent of "normal" reflexes, muscle weakness, decreased sensation, and other changes.

Additional tests include:
