Clinical neurology with KD
Clinical Neurology with KD is a podcast hosted by Dr Krishnadas N C, Senior Consultant Neurologist at Meitra Hospital, Kerala, India, a National Board Neurology Teaching Institute. It is one of the top 20 International neurology podcasts, according to Feedspot. Dr Krishnadas has over 15 years of experience in teaching medical students. In this podcast, he will discuss how to localize a neurological lesion based on history taking and physical examination. The podcast is meant for medical students and makes them enjoy learning neurology. Medicine, pediatrics, critical care, psychiatry, neurology residents, general practitioners, and nurse practitioners will also benefit. Notes, images, and other resources for the podcast are available on the website neurologyteachingclub.com.

The Abducens nerve
This episode deals with the anatomy of the abducens nerve and the clinical features of patients presenting with abducens palsy at various locations through its course in the brain.
The Trochlear nerve
This episode deals with the anatomy of the trochlear nerve and the clinical features of patients presenting with oculomotor palsy at various locations through its course in the brain.
The Oculomotor Nerve
This episode deals with the anatomy of the Oculomotor nerve and the clinical features of patients presenting with oculomotor palsy at various locations through its course in the brain.
Neuro Ophthalmology
This episode is the trailer for the second season of Clinical Neurology with KD, which will focus on Neuro-ophthalmology. We will discuss the details of the new season and various resources available with the podcast. For those who have not lis...
Localisation of bladder dysfunction
This is the final episode of season 1. In this session, we will learn the micturition pathways and will try to understand the clinical features of lesions involving these pathways.
A clinical approach to the lobe functions of the brain.
In this episode, we will learn the functions of the various lobes of the brain, namely the frontal, parietal, temporal, and occipital lobes, using clinical cases. It will be an introduction to the fascinating world of cognitive neuroscience.&nb...
Etiology of coma and various herniation syndromes.
In this episode, we will discuss the clinical features of various causes of coma, such as metabolic and structural, and learn the clinical features of various herniation syndromes.
Clinical localisation and approach to an unconscious patient.
In this episode, we will discuss the clinical approach to a comatose patient. We will discuss how to take history and do a focused clinical examination on an unconscious patient and use that knowledge for localisation.
Anatomy of the basal ganglia and approach to Parkinsonism.
In this episode, we will discuss the anatomy and physiology of the basal ganglia and learn how to approach a patient with parkinsonism, one of the most common movement disorders.
Anatomy and clinical localisation of the sensory system.
In this episode, we will discuss the clinical localisation of sensory symptoms, learn the sensory pathways, and study the clinical features of lesions involving these pathways.
Anatomy of the brainstem and its clinical localisation.
In this episode, we will learn the anatomy of the brainstem and the various brainstem clinical syndromes. We will then use that knowledge to localise a lesion in the brainstem based on the patient's clinical features.
The clinical approach to a patient with cerebellar ataxia.
In this episode, we will discuss the anatomy of the cerebellum and its connection. We will discuss the clinical features of the cerebellar disease and the various cerebellar clinical syndromes.
Blood supply of the Internal capsule.
This is a bonus episode where we summarise the brain's blood supply, discussed in the previous episode. We will discuss the blood supply of the Internal capsule in detail. For notes and images of the episode, visit
Blood supply of the brain and arterial localisation of stroke.
In this episode, we will learn the brain's blood supply and various symptoms produced by the occlusion of an individual artery or its branches. We will use that knowledge to localize the artery involved in a stroke patient from the clinical sym...
Clinical localisation of spinal cord disorders.
In this episode, we will learn how to localize a lesion in the spinal cord based on history and physical examination. We will use the knowledge we gained in the last episode, ‘The spinal cord anatomy and clinical syndromes’, to localise the les...
The spinal cord anatomy and clinical syndromes.
In this episode, we will learn the anatomy of the spinal cord and use that knowledge to describe the various clinical syndromes.
Approach to lower motor neuron weakness.
Lower motor neuron weakness is often considered a tough case for medical students. It is the most exciting part of clinical neurology. In this session, you will learn how to approach a case of lower motor neuron weakness in a simplified step-by...
Localisation of hemiplegia.
In this episode, we will discuss how to localise the anatomical site of the lesion in a patient presenting with hemiplegia.
Approach to a patient with weakness.
In this episode, we will discuss how to approach a patient with weakness and how to differentiate between upper and lower motor neuron weakness step by step.
