Synopsis

Recognized for its practice-oriented approach to neurology that is based on the patient's presenting symptoms or signs, this comprehensive book is organized according to problems rather than by specific diseases. Among its features are coverage of basic neuroanatomy, clinically-oriented discussions of each neurological disease, boxed chapter outlines at the beginning of each chapter, extensive tables and figures, and an appendix that provides a step-by-step description of the neurologic examination.

About this title

Review:

"All the major clinical areas of neurology are covered using a systems approach. From cell neurophysiology to the gross anatomy and physiologic correlates, the book covers the relevant clinical neurology. As an introduction, it serves as a good bridge between the basic science and the world of clinical neurology. Particularly helpful are the clinical vignettes in each chapter that reinforce the clinical relevance of the basic science material presented." "The book is one of the best in its category. It is very useful and is one of the most comprehensive, yet readable books for residents and students."
