Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-319-17839-4 (ISBN)
This pocket-sized book is a quick-reference practical guide for physicians who deal with patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage or intracranial aneurysms outside the hospital. It describes briefly the epidemiology of subarachnoid hemorrhage, the early recognition and clinical course, and in more depth the aftercare, residual symptoms and deficits. The prognosis and management in the long term are discussed in detail. It also provides information on the counselling and treatment of patients with unruptured intracranial aneurysms.
Subarachnoid Hemorrhage in Clinical Practice is aimed at general practitioners and family physicians and will also be informative for other specialists such as rehabilitation physicians, nursing home physicians, and physicians working for health insurance companies. It may also be of interest to patients, relatives, and paramedics.

"Part of the In Clinical Practice series, this book focuses on subarachnoid hemorrhage. ... The audience is neurologists, general internists, and emergency room physicians who potentially would be consulted for symptoms of a stroke in patients. It also is an exquisite teaching tool for academic centers for discussing brain hemorrhage as part of developing a differential diagnosis. ... This well-written, timely monograph covers brain hemorrhage extremely well." (Vincent F. Carr, Doody's Book Reviews, August, 2015)
