      La survenue brutale d’un déficit neurologique oriente toujours vers la réalisation en urgence d’une imagerie du système nerveux central par scanner ou IRM. Cet examen est crucial pour la prise en charge thérapeutique du patient. Ce nouveau volume de la collection des « Syllabus de la SFR »(Société française de radiologie) et de la SFNR (Société française de neuroradiologie) propose ainsi un état de l’art de l’imagerie des urgences neuroradiologiques.C... ouvrage propose toute la sémiologie à connaître afin de pouvoir proposer la gamme diagnostique des urgences à rechercher. Il donne les clés pour privilégier la technique d’exploration la plus pertinente. Après un rappel des protocoles d’exploration en fonction des urgences, ou encore des éléments en vue de mieux comprendre la neuroradiologie interventionnelle, sont ainsi évoqués, entre autres, les accidents vasculaires cérébraux, les urgences traumatiques, infectieuses, métaboliques et toxiques, celles en fonction des régions (médullaire, orbitaire, etc.) ou en fonction des traitements sans oublier les spécificités pédiatriques, gériatriques et psychiatriques.Riche... illustré et complet, présenté de façon didactique et rédigé par les meilleurs experts en neuro-imagerie diagnostique et interventionnelle, cet ouvrage constitue la référence actuelle sur le sujet. Il est indispensable pour tous les radiologues confrontés aux urgences neuroradiologiques (vacations scanners ou IRM, permanence des soins, télémédecine) ainsi que pour les neurologues et neurochirurgiens qui prennent en charge ces patients.
