Abstract

The nervous system interacts with all other systems in the human body on a continuous basis. It's not uncommon for a disease to exhibit neurological symptoms that are not solely attributable to a primary nervous system disorder, but, rather, to the intricate relationships the nervous system has with other organs. This article reviews how diverse gastrointestinal, endocrine, rheumatic, kidney, heart, and other affections manifest in the neurological system. Key points, frequent symptoms, and signs are thus summarized to provide a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between systemic diseases and neurological symptoms. Emphasizing the clinical presentation of a selected group of conditions, it is hoped that clinicians can better recognize the potential for neurological symptoms in patients with systemic diseases, and the potential for systemic diseases in patients exhibiting neurological symptoms, leading to earlier diagnosis and improved outcomes.
