We need
to determine if Mrs. Richardson's problem is
-
due to a localized lesion or
-
is it multifocal?
-
Is it principally neural or
is there a muscular component?
-
If it's neural, is it primarily
central nervous system or is there a peripheral nerve element?
-
If it's neural, is it primarily
a problem of gray matter or white matter?
Although you probably have some
ideas as to diagnosis, we're not ready to generate a differential diagnosis
yet. Lab and radiology will help a lot.
-
Basic blood work
-
CSF analysis.
-
Cerebral MRI
Lab and
radiology help.
