The neurological conditions that require management in intensive care are diverse. Indications for admission range from maintaining the airway to control of seizures and intracranial pressure. Intensive care of a patient with a neurological disease requires a partnership between the referring specialist and intensive care doctors. Despite the diversity of the neurological diseases being managed some standard principles apply.
