Neurological problems commonly occur in the context of underlying systemic disease, and may even be the presenting symptom of a medical condition that has not yet been diagnosed. Consequently neurologists need to be aware when a neurological presentation might indicate an underlying systemic disorder.

 Neurologic Disorders due to Systemic Disease provides the tools you need to make these connections. The unique Neurologic presentations-based approach relates to the common clinical situations you encounter, including: 

• Headache
• Stroke
• Movement disorders
• Neuromuscular disorders
• Encephalopathies, Seizures, Myelopathies, Neuro-Ophthalmologic and Neuro-otologic disorders, Sleep disorders, and others

 Major categories of systemic illness are explored for each presentation to guide you towards a likely cause.  These include: 

• Endocrine, electrolyte, and metabolic disorders
• Systemic autoimmune disorders
• Organ dysfunction and failure, and critical medical illness
• 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 practical approach including ‘things to remember’ for each presentation, Neurologic Disorders due to Systemic Disease should be on every neurologist’s desk.
