| Summary |
This volume is designed as a resource for clinicians at all levels of training in all fields of medicine who treat patients with urgent and emergent neurological syndromes. The book uses a novel approach which focuses on the 'clinical impasse' that so often occurs in complex cases, and emphasizes the creative intellectual process clinicians relish. |
