Head Injury or trauma to the head is a common injury often sustained in motor vehicle accidents and childhood injuries. Once the brain has been damaged by trauma, there is no quick fix. However, there are some steps that can be taken to prevent secondary damage. If left untreated many patients with head injury will rapidly develop complications which may lead to death or permanent disability. Prompt medical treatment may prevent the worsening of symptoms and lead to a better outcome. Medical treatment should begin as soon as possible by a medical attendant with neurosurgical capabilities. The management of brain injury requires the involvement of sub specialists who are generally available only at larger hospitals. Initial Management of Head Injury provides comprehensive guidance for non-neurosurgeons on managing patients with head trauma for better patient outcomes. Targeted at emergency physicians, paramedics, general physicians, clinicians and intensivists who are part of trauma care teams, Initial Management of Head Injury gives the non-neurosurgeon all the information they need, enabling them to make accurate decisions for optimal initial care to save lives which may otherwise be lost or irretrievably impaired. It achieves this by: translating the latest evidence based research into practical clinical guidelines; using clean and simple illustrations to highlight the most useful surgical techniques and procedures; incorporating a collection of radiological images that provides insights for accurate interpretation and evaluation; and devoting discrete chapters to the management of subsets of patients with brain injuries - including children, the elderly, sporting injuries, the anticoagulated patient and the alcohol intoxicated patient. This accessible book is an invaluable resource for those emergency and clinical settings where specialist neurosurgical access is delayed. In addition, it will have high appeal in regions with limited or low resource availability. Neurosurgeon specialists will also appreciate the current and user friendly presentation of data.

Neurological disorders account for 10% of consultations in primary care and 20% of acute hospital admissions, yet there is good evidence that 'neurophobia' is common among medical students lost in unnecessary detail. This has led to neurology's long-established reputation as a difficult subject. This book is the antidote to neurophobia. It is divided into four sections: Section I introduces the reader to clinical neurology by summarising the basic aspects of a neurological consultation including history and examination; Section II covers neurological signs related to cranial nerves, motor and sensory system and peripheral nerve lesions; Section III comprises the major and common diseases such as headache, epilepsy, stroke, Parkinson's disease and Multiple sclerosis; and Section IV addresses other main neurological problems. The scope of this book is limited to only the most fundamental principles and omits all superfluous detail - ideal for medical students needing a concise introduction to neurology and an overview for revision.
