This book is the first comprehensive reference on the interface between neurology and internal medicine.

In 171 chapters organized by organ system, the book examines:

• the neurologic manifestations of dozens of medical conditions
• the neurologic effects of drugs
• organ transplantation, and other treatments
• the medical comorbidities or complications—iatrogenic or otherwise—that neurologists must diagnose and treat in patients with neurologic disease

Most chapters are co-authored by a neurologist and a non-neurologic specialist. Each chapter presents information in an accessible format and includes a case vignette and the authors' recommendations for the case.
