As neurocritical care develops and becomes more specialized with new diagnostic, monitoring and therapeutic modalities, neurologists, neurosurgeons, and critical care medicine physicians will find themselves managing patients with unique physiologic needs.

The focus on flowchart algorithms and decision trees allows for a streamlined overview of each topic.

Each chapter begins with a case example and provides bulleted essentials of diagnosis, including epidemiologic data and a differential diagnosis, examination features and suggestions for laboratory, imaging, and special diagnostic studies. Evaluation and treatment options are discussed and each chapter ends with “Pearls and Pitfalls” in evaluation and management.
