Between 5 and 10% of visits to emergency services correspond to a primary neurological alteration, and although the majority of these manifestations are not associated with an illness that endangers life, a significant subset is. Early recognition and treatment of these conditions can make the difference between a good functional outcome and permanent disability or death. Driven by their commitment to improving patient care, doctors Andy S. Jagoda and Christopher A. Lewandowski contributed their clinical expertise to create the Handbook of Neurological Emergencies, a practical and easy-to-read guide that not only presents the most common and impactful neurological emergencies but also provides extensive coverage of their diagnosis and management based on clinical evidence.

The Handbook of Neurological Emergencies is divided into two main sections. The first section provides an overview of neurological emergencies, including their causes, symptoms, and clinical presentation. It covers a wide range of conditions, from stroke and seizures to brain tumors and neurodegenerative diseases. The second section focuses on specific neurological emergencies, such as stroke, seizures, brain injury, and neurological emergencies in children. Each section includes detailed descriptions of the emergency, its diagnosis, and management.

The Handbook of Neurological Emergencies is designed to be a valuable resource for healthcare professionals, including physicians, nurses, and emergency medical technicians. It provides a comprehensive guide to the diagnosis and management of neurological emergencies, and it is updated regularly to reflect the latest evidence-based guidelines and recommendations. The book is also accompanied by numerous illustrations, tables, and diagrams that help to clarify complex concepts and make the information more accessible to readers.

In conclusion, the Handbook of Neurological Emergencies is a must-have resource for anyone who works in the field of neurology or emergency medicine. It provides a comprehensive and up-to-date guide to the diagnosis and management of neurological emergencies, and it is written in a clear and concise manner that is accessible to a wide range of readers. By incorporating the latest evidence-based guidelines and recommendations, this book helps to ensure that patients receive the best possible care in the most critical moments of their lives.
