Discussion

Steffen Walter Aug 3, 2023:
Exactly This should actually read "Neuro Kopf" and is short for "neurologische Untersuchung Kopf" or "neurologischer Befund Kopf".
Lirka Aug 3, 2023:
Neuro/Kopf An educated guess: I'd say that the typist heard "Neuro Kopf" and wrote Neurokopf, but the physician actually meant "Neurologie des Kopfes". Neuro/Kopf in short. It's not the PhDs typing these letters, you know...
Lirka Aug 3, 2023:
Way out... @Asker: When I'm presented with challenges like this, I go step by step:
1. Exclude that this is indeed a report from Neurokopf Center (Brent's suggestion). I say exclude since it is less likely.
2. Once you've excluded it (that should not be hard as you probably have some letterhead or other mention of this institution), you can either be:
a) brave and go with my suggestion, or
b) cautious and go with a generic "way-out" solution, such as "Neurology/head" or even just "Neurology" (as liz suggested, but here neurology is referring to the neurology examination rather than the centre). But in case it IS the center itself, you're "safe" as well. Vague but safe. :=))

Please could the asker provide more context to "Neurokopf" in this spelling, that is as one word.
"Neuro-Kopf-Zentrum" (which is provided as an answer in German - see below) is a Centre of the Technische Universität München which opened in 2007 and houses the Neurological Clinic and Outpatients, the Neurosurgical Clinic and Outpatients and the Dept. of Diagnostic and Interventional Neuroradiology. It seems to be the only specialist centre by this precise name in Germany. However in Heidelberg there is a Neurozentrum der Kopfklinik and in Hamburg ein Kopf- und Neurozentrum.

[cursory] neurological assessment of the head[&neck]

I agree that more context is needed to be 100% sure, but without it, I'd be more inclined to interpret this as part of the physical exam: cursory neurological assessment of the head[&neck]


Peer comment(s):

neutral philgoddard : Yes, this is the meaning, but they've abbreviated it in German and Zoi has done the same in her translation.

Thank you, Phil.
agree Steffen Walter : "Neurokopf" should actually read "Neuro Kopf" and is short for "neurologische Untersuchung Kopf" or "neurologischer Befund Kopf". I doubt that the English short form "neuro head" would be interpreted in the same way.

Yes, indeed. Thanks, Steffen!
agree Dr. Christopher Kronen : This is the most likely option.👍

Neuro-Kopf-Zentrum


I’d need more context to be sure, but the tests were probably carried out in the “Neuro-Kopf-Zentrum”

neuro head

By reading the abstract given I remembered a thesis on neurological matters. The term is referred there as "neuro head".

It's not actually my domain. Do some more research please🙂

neutral Steffen Walter : I doubt that "neuro head" can be equated with "neurologische Untersuchung Kopf" or "neurologischer Befund Kopf", which is what the German short form means in this case.

Cranial nerves

Appears to be a colloquial term for cranial nerve examination, which often includes these sort of eye tests.
