The neurological examination of unconscious patients is critical in emergency settings, where up to 5% of consultations are due to impaired consciousness. Despite the challenges posed by the lack of patient cooperation, various maneuvers can help establish the cause and localization of neurological issues. This paper presents an approach to the neurological examination in unconscious patients, emphasizing its importance in differential diagnosis and treatment planning.
