    Collapse Overview 
    Collapse overview
    Ali Mansour , MD, is a neurologist with sub-specialization in neurocritical care. Along with the members of the neurosciences Intensive care unit at the university of Chicago medical center, he is dedicated to the diagnosis and management of patients with acute neurological illness. Such disease states encompass conditions with ischemic (low blood flow) and hemorrhagic (blood vessel rupture) stroke, brain aneurysms and vascular malformations, traumatic brain injury, cerebral edema, status epilepticus, as well as patients with severe Guillain-Barre syndrome and respiratory failure associated with myasthenia gravis.

    Dr. Mansour's research interests include brain Imaging as a biomarker in neuro-prognostication, civilian penetrating brain injury and Intracranial pressure physiology.

    PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
