"Part of the In Clinical Practice series, this book focuses on subarachnoid hemorrhage. ... The audience is neurologists, general internists, and emergency room physicians who potentially would be consulted for symptoms of a stroke in patients. It also is an exquisite teaching tool for academic centers for discussing brain hemorrhage as part of developing a differential diagnosis. ... This well-written, timely monograph covers brain hemorrhage extremely well." (Vincent F. Carr, Doody's Book Reviews, August, 2015)
