Publisher's Synopsis
Few neurosurgical centers directly admit patients with suspected subarachnoid hemorrhage. Most are primarily assessed and managed by general physicians or neurologists. This book is aimed at such doctors who encounter difficulties in the diagnosis and in the neurological and systemic complications which can arise in the management of such patients. The book places emphasis on the preliminary investigation, on establishing the diagnosis, on the detection of developing complications, and on medical treatment. Surgical details are omitted.
