Neurologic complications of endocrine disorders are diverse and may arise before systemic manifestations. Early recognition is essential because neurologic symptoms may represent the presentation of an undiagnosed underlying endocrine disorder, and because many neurologic complications of endocrine disorders are reversible with timely treatment. In this episode, Gordon Smith, MD, FAAN, speaks with Rafid Mustafa, MD, author of the article “Neurologic Complications of Endocrine Disorders” in the Continuum® February 2026 Neurology of Systemic Disease issue. Dr. Smith is...

Wijdicks, MD, PhD, FAAN, FACP, FNCS, author of the article “Neurologic Manifestations of Renal and Electrolyte Disorders” in the Continuum® February 2026 Neurology of Systemic Disease issue.
