Neurologic complications of cancer are common and are frequently life-threatening
events. Certain neurologic emergencies occur more frequently in the cancer
population, specifically elevated intracranial pressure, epidural cord
compression, status epilepticus, ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke, central nervous
system infection, and treatment-associated neurologic dysfunction. These
emergencies require early diagnosis and prompt treatment to ensure the best
possible outcome and are best managed in the intensive care unit. This article
reviews the presentation, pathophysiology, and management of the most common
causes of acute neurologic decompensation in the patient with cancer.
