Anesthesiologists are now active in the diagnosis of unusual neurologic and neuromuscular disorders. Their skill derives both from a firm understanding of basic sciences and a facility with invasive procedures. Five representative cases are presented to illustrate the scope of diagnostic neuroanesthesiology and the endeavors of the neuroanesthesiologist outside the operating theater.
