Early diagnosis and management strategies of neurological disorders in the perioperative period are essential to minimize patient morbidity and mortality.
This review highlights the importance of understanding pathophysiology and implementing early diagnosis and management strategies for neurological conditions during the perioperative period.
May prompt perioperative neurological vigilance; leaves open need for prospective trials on specific strategies.
Perioperative care of the patients with neurological diseases can be challenging. Most important consideration is the management and understanding of pathophysiology of these disorders and evaluation of new neurological changes that occur perioperatively. Perioperative generally refers to 3 phases of surgery: preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative. We have tried to address few commonly encountered neurological conditions in clinical practice, such as delirium, stroke, epilepsy, myasthenia gravis, and Parkinson disease. In this article, we emphasize on early diagnosis and management strategies of neurological disorders in the perioperative period to minimize morbidity and mortality of patients.

Dhallu et al. (2017) conducted a review in Neurological conditions (delirium, stroke, epilepsy, myasthenia gravis, Parkinson disease). Perioperative management strategies was evaluated. Early diagnosis and management strategies of neurological disorders in the perioperative period are essential to minimize patient morbidity and mortality.
