Neurological Disorders due to Systemic Disease
herausgegeben von Steven L. LewisHow do you identify which neurological syndromes occur due tosystemic disease?
Neurological problems commonly occur in the context ofunderlying systemic disease, and may even be the presenting symptomof a medical condition that has not yet been diagnosed. Consequently neurologists need to be aware when a neurologicalpresentation might indicate an underlying systemic disorder.
Neurologic Disorders due to Systemic Diseaseprovides the tools you need to make these connections. The uniqueNeurologic presentations-based approach relates to the commonclinical situations you encounter, including:
* Headache
* Stroke
* Movement disorders
* Neuromuscular disorders
* Encephalopathies, Seizures, Myelopathies, Neuro-Ophthalmologicand Neuro-otologic disorders, Sleep disorders, and others
Major categories of systemic illness are explored for eachpresentation to guide you towards a likely cause. Theseinclude:
* Endocrine, electrolyte, and metabolic disorders
* Systemic autoimmune disorders
* Organ dysfunction and failure, and critical medicalillness
* Systemic cancer and paraneoplastic disorders
* Systemic infectious disease
* Complications due to drugs and alcohol
* Vitamin and mineral deficiencies
Written by a leading cast of experts, with a practicalapproach including 'things to remember' for eachpresentation, Neurologic Disorders due to Systemic Diseaseshould be on every neurologist's desk.
