Neurology is one of the most underrecognized and underappreciated specialties in Pakistan.1 The beginnings of clinical and academic neurology in Pakistan can be traced to the 1960s when 3 neurology departments were established in 2 major cities of Pakistan: 2 in Karachi and 1 in Lahore.2,3 One of the 2 departments in Karachi was a combined neurology and psychiatry department.2
