Introduction

As neurologists, we are very aware of the primary disorders of the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nervous system. Although common as a group, we tend to neglect that the neurological manifestations of systemic diseases can cause significant morbidity and mortality. The brain activity depends on the tight functioning balance of multiple body organs. They help to maintain a healthy milieu for optimal brain function. This issue will describe the neurological complications of systemic diseases, and their treatment, including cardiac, respiratory, renal, endocrine, gastrointestinal, rheumatic, oncological, and nutritional.
