Synopsis

Clinical Anatomy of the Cranial Nerves combines anatomical knowledge, pathology, clinical examination, and explanation of clinical findings, drawing together material typically scattered throughout anatomical textbooks. All of the pertinent anatomical topics are conveniently organized to instruct on anatomy, but also on how to examine the functioning of this anatomy in the patient. Providing a clear and succinct presentation of the underlying anatomy, with directly related applications of the anatomy to clinical examination, the book also provides unique images of anatomical structures of plastinated cadaveric dissections. These images are the only ones that exist in this form, and have been professionally produced in the Laboratory of Human Anatomy, University of Glasgow under the auspices of the author. These specimens offer a novel way of visualizing the cranial nerves and related important anatomical structures.

About this title

Review:

An exciting, succinct, clinically relevant resource for the applied anatomy, pathology and clinical examination of the cranial nerves in a simple, readily accessible format

From the Back Cover:

This book combines anatomical knowledge, pathology, clinical examination, and explanation of clinical findings, drawing together material which is in general scattered throughout anatomical textbooks, arising every time that a nerve is dealt with in other resources. This way, everything will be to hand for the learner in a format that will be used as a reference point, instructing on anatomy, but also how to examine the functioning of this anatomy in the patient. Providing a clear and succinct presentation of the underlying anatomy, with directly related applications of the anatomy to clinical examination, the unique aspect about this book lies in two key facts:

1. Succinct combination of all key features of the anatomy, and clinical applications

2. Unique images of anatomical structures of plastinated cadaveric dissections. These images are unique as they are the only ones that exist in this form and have been professionally taken in the Laboratory of Human Anatomy, University of Glasgow under the auspices of the author (P.M. Rea). These professionally dissected specimens offer a novel way of visualising the cranial nerves and related important anatomical structures.
