Patients with neurologic symptoms are frequently seen in the emergency department and require rapid and thorough evaluation. Appropriate assessment with tailored history-taking, localization of the neurological problem, differential diagnosis, focused testing, and urgent treatment when indicated are essential to prevent patient morbidity. Neurological examination and testing of patients are covered in-depth, along with common neurological presentations using a symptom-based approach, such as coma, dizziness and gait disturbance. Specific neurological disorders are also explored, including traumatic brain injury, ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attack and neurotoxicology. Chapters follow a basic outline, including an introduction and a pearls and pitfalls section, providing a succinct overview and key takeaway points for the busy clinician. This well organized handbook will serve as a concise, valued reference for the clinician to use in assisting the evaluation of the most common neurology related emergency department visits.

“The Handbook of Emergency Neurology is one of the most comprehensive texts on the topic and will bolster your ability to evaluate common complaints while developing approaches to more rare neurologic emergencies you may not have even considered having to evaluate. The comprehensive nature of this text makes it a valuable read for both junior and senior practitioners alike and may help dampen the dread you once felt when your least favorite chief complaint popped up on the tracking board as it did for me.’
