This practical, all-in-one guide - the first and only book of its kind - outlines diagnosis and management strategies for the most common neurologic problems resulting from injury. Readers will find encyclopaedic coverage of head injuries, spine injuries, peripheral nerve and plexus trauma, post-traumatic pain disorders, environmental trauma, post-traumatic sequalae, and the medicolegal aspects. Treatment of these broad categories includes full-chapter coverage on the injury itself, followed by chapters on the specific consequences of that injury, such as post-traumatic seizures, post-traumatic cranial neuropathies, and more.
