Patients with numbness lasting more than how many weeks should be referred for neurosurgical evaluation?

  1. 2 weeks

  2. 3 weeks

  3. 4 weeks

  4. 6 weeks

The correct answer is: 4 weeks

Patients with numbness lasting more than 4 weeks should be referred for neurosurgical evaluation. Options A and B are incorrect because the timeframe is too short, and numbness that persists for only 2 or 3 weeks could be due to a temporary condition or injury. Option D is also incorrect because waiting too long could lead to worsening symptoms and potentially more serious underlying causes.
