Synopsis

Advances in the knowledge and understanding of stupor and coma, aided by the considerable impact of CT scanning on neurological diagnosis, are reflected in the new and substantially revised edition of a classic volume. The authors have included new references and illustrations, yet this 3rd edition retains its unique approach to that art of diagnosis based on the understanding of pathophysiology and pathobiochemistry.

About this title

Review:

This is an excellent text, and the substantial changes since the third edition easily justify the purchase of a new copy. (Doody'd Notes,)

This is great book and a fitting tribute to him who inspired it. (Brain, Vol 130,)

Over 50 years after its first edition, this book remains a gem among neurological monographs. Beyond maintaining a contemporary status, it has matured like good wine, improving over time to provide the reader with the best available summary of disorders of consciousness available on the market today.
