Description
This book provides detailed management of both urgent situations and emergent situations for the practicing neurologist. Because urgent problems can become emergent situations, it not only discusses true emergencies but those common urgent situations which the neurologist often encounters in treatment of acute and chronic neurologic disease. The text describes relevant pathophysiology and pathology, and management and treatment approaches. It also covers a range of subjects within neurology and is designed to allow for each chapter to be read independently.
