Description

A roster of experts tackles the complex problems of diagnosis and treatment, which, when admixed with legal issues, pose some of the greatest management challenges to physicians today. In this volume, are practical solutions to many of the complicated clinical issues that are present in daily practice. Among the highlights: monitoring antiepileptic drug levels; assessing the teratogenic effects of psychotropic medications; management of epilepsy, stroke, migraine, low back pain, and other neurologic disorders during pregnancy; safety and indications for neurodiagnostic studies in pregnancy; and legal issues involved in preventing fetal harm.
