Talk:Functional Neurological Deficit
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The page is now aetiologically out of date and needs the references to the organic cause of "functional" symptoms refined. Of particular note is work on phantom limb sydrome and the underlying organic stimulus behind these deficits (see hurst & stone)
a merge would not reflect the current debate about symptoms for which no diagnosis can currently be offered. A good analogy would be- prior to 1984 Hughes Syndrome must have been "functional". The percentage of sufferers diagnosed as hysterical must be vast. (Hughes mimics Multiple Sclerosis without lesions on scan, hence easy misdiagnosis as hysterical)
