AB In  the  five  years  since  the  first  edition  of  this  book,  there  has  been  an  explosion  in  new  knowledge  that  directly  impacts  our  care  of  patients  with  neurologic  disease.  New  treatments  have  emerged  for  epilepsy,  multiple  sclerosis,  and  migraine.  New  diseases  have  been  characterized  (antibody-mediated  syndromes),  new  criteria  for  diagnosis  of  existing  diseases  have  been  established  (multiple  sclerosis),  and  new  categorizations  of  existing  diseases  have  been  created  (brain  tumors).  New  clinical  trial  data  has  transformed  the  treatment  of  acute  stroke.  New  treatments  for  systemic  cancer  (immunotherapy  and  CAR  T-cell  therapy)  have  generated  a  new  spectrum  of  cancer  treatment-associated  neurologic  conditions.  All  of  these  exciting  updates  are  included  in  this  second  edition,  and  still  this  book  will  likely  have  aspects  that  are  out-of-date  as  soon  as  it  goes  to  press.  What  other  field  of  medicine  has  come  so  far  in  so  short  a  time,  and  yet  still  has  so  far  to  go?  This  constant  evolution  is  one  of  many  aspects  that  makes  neurology  such  a  dynamic,  engaging,  and  meaningful  field  to  study  and  practice.
