This book is a collection of the latest data and papers on neurological disorders during pregnancy. These complicated and difficult conditions require a multi-disciplinary approach to treatment, which may either be surgical intervention or medical management. For women in the reproductive age group, the diagnosis of neurological disorders during pregnancy or post-partum creates further challenges.
Taking motivation from the Editor’s successful management for pregnant cases with neurological disorders, this book is intended to guide the neurosurgical community towards better management of treating neurological disorders in pregnancy.
