Summary:
The event “Neurological Emergencies” was organised with the objective of enhancing postgraduate students’ knowledge and clinical approach to common neurological emergencies encountered in emergency and critical care settings. The program witnessed active participation from postgraduate residents and focused on developing systematic diagnostic and management skills for time-sensitive neurological conditions.
The sessions commenced with a review of clinically applied neuroanatomy, emphasising the localisation of neurological lesions and their relevance in the assessment of emergency presentations. The main aim of the program was to ensure that residents are well equipped to recognise, evaluate, and manage a wide spectrum of neurological emergencies. Interactive sessions were conducted on the clinical approach to weakness, with detailed discussions on hemiplegia, acute stroke, and stroke mimics. Special emphasis was placed on posterior circulation stroke, highlighting its varied clinical presentations and diagnostic challenges.
The program also covered the approach to paraplegia and quadriplegia, including important neurological and neurosurgical emergencies such as spinal epidural abscess, spinal epidural hematoma, cauda equina/conus medullaris syndrome, traumatic cervical spine injury, and transverse myelitis. Residents were trained to differentiate ascending and descending paralysis and were introduced to the clinical evaluation and management of conditions such as Guillain-Barré syndrome, myasthenic crisis, hypokalemic paralysis, neurotoxic snake envenomation, and rhabdomyolysis.
The academic sessions provided participants with practical diagnostic frameworks, clinical pearls, and evidence-based management strategies. The event was well received by the attendees and served as a valuable educational platform to strengthen their competence and confidence in managing neurological emergencies.
