Catastrophic Neurologic Disorders in the Emergency Department

the long version

A practical handbook on the management of critically ill neurologic patients in the Emergency Department. The focus is on disorders that have the potential for rapid deterioration. For this thoroughly updated second edition, the author has added eight new chapters, seven of which appear in an entirely new first section on the evaluation of presenting symptoms indicating urgency. This unique text should be an invaluable guide for neurologists, neurosurgeons, neuroradiologists, emergency physicians, and their residents and fellows.
