Neurologic emergencies can be difficult to diagnose and treat, and are devastating if missed. Stroke is still the number five cause of death in the United States, down from number three a few years ago, and is the leading cause of long-term serious disability. Nonconvulsive status epilepticus is a substantial problem in intensive care units. Traumatic brain injuries from head trauma are a leading cause of post-traumatic stress in many populations. Then we have spine injuries, headache, back pain, infections, and vision problems, which present to emergency departments on a daily basis.
