Neurological emergencies are different in that they appear abruptly, generally have a stormy course and necessitate a rushed and yet balanced approach. This book has been conceived and written keeping in mind the needs felt by a first contact doctor who may be a neurology trainee, a seasoned or junior neurology consultant, a physician or an intern. Special attention has been focused on the various aspects of management of patients in the emergency department from the point of taking a good clinical history performing a quick and targeted clinical examination to investigating and starting treatment.
