This chapter explores the neurologic manifestations of selective hematologic disease, direct neurologic involvement of systemic malignancy, and neurologic complications of commonly performed inpatient procedures. Examples of hematologic diseases include red blood cell disorders (eg, sickle cell disease, nutritional anemia, neuroacanthocytosis, and polycythemia vera), bleeding diatheses and platelet disorders (eg, disseminated intravascular coagulation, immune thrombocytopenic purpura, thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, hemolytic uremic syndrome, and essential thrombocytosis), and white blood cell disorders (eg, plasma cell disorders such as monoclonal gammopathy of uncertain significance, polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, M protein, and skin changes [POEMS] syndrome, multiple myeloma, and Waldenströ m macroglobulinemia, chronic myelogenous leukemia, and acute leukemia). Discussion of systemic malignancies includes breast cancer, colon cancer, pancreatic cancer, prostate cancer, and Pancoast tumor. Descriptions of commonly encountered inpatient procedures include cardiac catheterization, cesarean section, upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, and arthroplasty.
