Neurology in aviation

ABSTRACT

Background: In terms of primary evaluation, neurological disorders are known to have considerable importance. Materials and methods: This article has been update by searching in databases including Scopuse, Medline, Embase and Aviation Medicine text books. Results: In this article we aimed to prepare an overview of neurology in aviation using current standard guidelines. These guidelines cover a range of neurological conditions such as headache, seizures degeneration diseases, and peripheral neuropathy. Also, the role of routine neurophysiologic testing is discussed. Conclusion: As Neurological disorders are classified as one of the most prevalent reasons for disqualification among air-crew members, more research is needed to assess the impacts of decompression on neurological function
