About the JournalAbstract
Neurology remains a discipline defined by pattern recognition;
yet, equally, it requires a constant vigilance against the overinterpretation
of patterns. As diagnostic technologies evolve,
the risk of premature diagnostic closure has increased. This
issue of the Bombay Hospital Journal brings into focus a central
challenge in contemporary neurology—the differentiation of
disease from its mimics—and reinforces the importance of
integrative clinical reasoning.
