AB  - Life-threatening  neurologic  illness  may  be  caused  by  a  primary  disorder  affecting  any  region  of  the  neuraxis  or  may  occur  as  a  consequence  of  a  systemic  disorder  such  as  hepatic  failure,  multisystem  organ  failure,  or  cardiac  arrest  (Table  301-1).  Neurologic  critical  care  focuses  on  preservation  of  neurologic  tissue  and  prevention  of  secondary  brain  injury  caused  by  ischemia,  hemorrhage,  edema,  herniation,  and  elevated  intracranial  pressure  (ICP).  Encephalopathy  is  a  general  term  describing  brain  dysfunction  that  is  diffuse,  global,  or  multi-focal.  Severe  acute  encephalopathies  represent  a  group  of  various  disorders  due  to  different  neurological  or  systemic  etiologies,  but  that  share  the  common  themes  of  primary  and  secondary  brain  injury.
