A census, uniform screening questionnaire, and simple screening neurologic examination were administered in a door-to-door survey to residents of Quiroga, Ecuador, a rural community in the Andes Mountains. The screening procedures had been pretested to assure a high level of sensitivity for detecting children and adults with major neurologic disease. A total of 1,113 participated in the study. Of these, 399 had responses or findings suggesting the presence of neurologic disease. These individuals were then examined by a neurologist, who used fixed diagnostic criteria. The prevalence ratios (per 1,000) for the most common neurologic conditions identified in this survey are: recurrent/persistent severe headache = 68.3, and epilepsy = 17.1.
