This volume is aimed at neurologists and all those involved with the care of patients with altered levels of consciousness. Emphasis is given to distinguishing reversible disorders from the irreversible and disorders requiring medical treatment from those requiring neurosurgical management. The technological advances in neuroimaging and how this has affected the understanding of the neurological basis of consciousness and the approach to the patient with an altered level of consciousness is covered, as are the resulting ethical issues.
