Clinical Neurology and Neuroanatomy: A Localization-Based Approach

An Engagingly Written Text That Bridges the Gap Between Neuroanatomy and Clinical Neurology

Clinical Neurology and Neuroanatomy provides a clear, logical discussion of the relationship between  neuroanatomy, clinical localization, and the diagnosis and treatment of  neurologic disease. Written in a concise, conversational style, this  unique text offers a valuable overview of fundamental neuroanatomy and  the clinical localization principles necessary to diagnose and treat  patients with neurologic diseases and disorders.

The  text is divided into main sections. Part I teaches the neuroanatomy  essential for clinical localization and demonstrates how to apply this  knowledge to clinical reasoning in developing a differential diagnosis  for common neurologic symptoms including weakness, sensory changes,  visual loss, ataxia, diplopia, anisocoria, and dizziness. A detailed  overview of the neurologic examination and a primer on interpretation of  neurodiagnostic tests with a focus on neuroimaging and CSF analysis is  also included.

Part II provides an up-to-date  synthesis of the diagnosis and treatment of neurologic diseases  including epilepsy, stroke, neurologic infections, demyelinating  diseases, dementia, movement disorders, neurologic complications of  cancer and its treatment, and conditions of the peripheral nervous  system. More than 50 radiologic images of common and rare neurologic  conditions and over 30 tables summarizing key aspects of various  conditions and their treatment are featured.

Clinical Neurology and Neuroanatomy is an ideal companion for students on their neurology rotation,  neurology residents, and any healthcare practitioner looking for a  quick, clear, up-to-date resource in neurology.
