Although previously considered rare, neurologic manifestations of gastrointestinal diseases are increasingly recognized. Understanding of Whipple disease and gluten sensitivity is in transition and these conditions are becoming the province of neurologists. Recent improvements in diagnostic testing have improved our understanding and case finding for vitamin B12 deficiency. Many patients with these conditions present with neurologic manifestations alone. Therefore, these conditions are becoming the province of neurologists, and neurologic manifestations of gastrointestinal disease are becoming a more common part of neurologic practice.
In this report, the special clinical presentations found in neuropsychiatry are discussed. The point is made that conventional diagnostic schedules such as DSM-IV do not serve neuropsychiatry well, and have contributed to a failure to view neuropsychiatry as an independent specialist discipline. In this review some of the characteristic neuropsychiatric syndromes seen in epilepsy, movement disorders, demyelinating, and cerebrovascular diseases are described, followed by a brief discussion of conversion disorder. A plea is made that any future diagnostic schedules contain references to neuropsychiatric disorders and presentations.
