The book encompasses preconception care, genetic counseling, pregnancy in patients with chronic neurological disorders, and acute pregnancy-related neurological complications. Postpartum care and complications, including lactation concerns, are also addressed, as well as the long-term effects of pregnancy and its complications on maternal brain health.

Each chapter introduction includes data on epidemiology, when applicable. In discussing management, comments of safety profiles of medications preconceptionally, during pregnancy and lactation are summarized. Each chapter includes 1-2 illustrative cases. - Discusses neuroendocrine, brain, PNS, and cerebro-vascular changes in pregnancy - Includes neurological care of the pregnant patient - Covers neuroimaging and monitoring techniques - Reviews common neurological complications with pregnancy - Supplies illustrative case study examples
