ABSTRACT
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Patients with brain tumors presenting to the emergency room with acute neurologic complications may warrant urgent investigations and emergent management. As the neuro-hospitalist will likely encounter this complex patient population, an understanding of the acute neurologic issues will have value. RECENT FINDINGS:
We discuss updated information and management regarding various acute neurologic complications among neuro-oncology patients and neurologic complications of immunotherapy. Understanding of the acute neurologic complications associated with central nervous system tumors and with common contemporary cancer treatments will facilitate the neuro-hospitalist management of these patient populations. While there are aspects analogous to the diagnosis and management in the non-oncologic population, a number of unique features discussed in this review should be considered.Palavras-chave
