This text identifies the causes of diagnostic errors and defines strategies to improve diagnostic accuracy to achieve a better clinical outcome. Renowned clinicians from India and abroad tackle the diagnostic strategies to a host of common and uncommon problems encountered in neurological practice, both in a clinic setting and in the setting of an intensive care unit. A separate section presents 15 authentic cases by critical care neurologists from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center to illustrate diagnostic challenges faced by neurologists in critical care units.
