Systemic autoimmune diseases can affect both the central and
peripheral nervous systems in a myriad of ways and through a
heterogeneous number of mechanisms leading to many different
clinical manifestations. As a result, neurological complications of
these disorders can result in significant morbidity and mortality.
Advances in the diagnosis, laboratory investigations, and
management of these conditions has placed an increasing burden on
the practicing clinician to correctly assess and treat these
patients.
This volume of the Handbook of the Systemic Autoimmune Diseases
will help the clinician and researcher better understand the
current concepts of nervous system involvement from systemic
autoimmune disorders, recognize current approaches to diagnosis and
treatment, current controversies, and areas that need significant
research efforts. It is believed that providing this approach in a
single volume will facilitate its use as a frequent resource for
all those caring for or investigating these patients and their
diseases.
Each chapter follows a consistent outline to provide the reader
with important and useful information in an easy-to-navigate manner
and is also liberally referenced to provide more primary source
material for further consideration. The standardized approach to
each chapter will allow the reader to be able to compare and
contrast more efficiently the neurological complications of the
autoimmune diseases discussed.
