Czech Neurology Board Examination study plan
Czech Neurology Board Examination · Give each week a clear focus.
8 weeks · About 7 hours per week
Neurological examination, semiology and topographic diagnosis & Neuroanatomy, neurophysiology and basic neurosciences
Draw from memory the topographic map of the neuraxis and label the tracts, nuclei and cranial nerve exits that explain each major neurological syndrome
Perform and describe a full 12-step neurological examination sequence aloud, timing it to under 20 minutes
Convert 15 short clinical vignettes into a lesion localization statement plus a ranked differential of three items
Build a one-page personal checklist of red-flag findings that mandate urgent imaging or admission
Your checkpoint
A 20-page handwritten localization atlas plus a timed video or peer-observed run-through of the complete examination
Cerebrovascular diseases and neurointensive care
Classify acute stroke by TOAST criteria and match each subtype to its evidence-based secondary prevention regimen
Apply NIHSS and mRS scoring to five written cases and justify thrombolysis or thrombectomy decisions against current time windows and contraindications
Outline the first-hour management of intracerebral haemorrhage, subarachnoid haemorrhage and cerebral venous thrombosis including blood-pressure targets and reversal agents
Interpret ten arterial-territory patterns on written CT and MRI descriptions and state the culprit vessel
Your checkpoint
A decision-tree flowchart for acute stroke triage and a table of ten cases with final aetiology, treatment and score justification
Neuromuscular disorders, peripheral neuropathy and myology
Localize lesions to root, plexus, nerve, neuromuscular junction or muscle using pattern-recognition of weakness distribution and reflex changes
Read ten EMG/NCS reports and state whether the pattern is axonal, demyelinating or myopathic, naming the likely diagnosis
Compare Guillain-Barre syndrome, myasthenia gravis and inflammatory myopathy on onset, investigations and first-line treatment
List the genetic and acquired causes of a distal symmetric polyneuropathy workup and justify each test ordered
Your checkpoint
A one-page EMG/NCS interpretation algorithm with ten worked reports annotated
Movement disorders and neurodegenerative diseases & Epileptology and sleep disorders
Distinguish Parkinson disease from atypical parkinsonism using five discriminating clinical features and their imaging correlates
Select and titrate dopaminergic therapy for early versus advanced Parkinson disease, naming device-aided options and their indications
Classify seizures and epilepsies per current ILAE terminology and choose first-line antiseizure medication by seizure type and comorbidity
Interpret ten short EEG descriptions, identifying normal variants, focal slowing and epileptiform discharges
Differentiate the main parasomnias from nocturnal seizures and outline a basic insomnia and sleep-apnoea workup
Your checkpoint
A comparison matrix of parkinsonian syndromes plus a seizure-type-to-drug table with ten EEG descriptions interpreted
Milestones
Week 2: Complete a 60-item timed mock on domains 1-3 scoring at least 70 percent, with every missed item rewritten as a one-line teaching point
Week 4: Complete a 60-item timed mock on domains 4 and 7 plus cumulative review scoring at least 70 percent, and demonstrate a full examination under 20 minutes
