title: [Neurologic symptoms within the scope of endocrine emergencies].
abstract: Functional disturbances of the central and peripheral nervous system can be seen in various internal diseases and it is not unusual that neurological symptoms are the first kind of presentation. The tight anatomical and functional junction between neurology and endocrinology predisposes to the development of neurological derangements such as somnolence, coma, seizures, and focal signs following endocrinological emergencies. In spite of modern imaging and laboratory methods, history and clinical examination are still of great importance to establish the correct diagnosis.
