Recent advances in neuroimaging, basic neuroscience, molecular genetics and their consequent therapeutic developments, have helped clinical neurology to emerge as one of the most exciting areas of medicine. In this concise yet comprehensive volume, a neurologist and a neuroradiologist have combined to provide a fresh approach to clinical neurology.
Practical and patient-oriented, their clearly structured text integrates presentation, pathology, radiology, diagnosis and treatment options, and is enriched by over 800 illustrations of the highest quality, ranging from anatomical drawings to clinical photographs and pathology specimens, plus imaging using the latest techniques.
While emphasising the more common conditions, the book is intended as a major source for trainees and students in neurology, an accessible resource for course directors and educators, and a valuable reference for neurologists, radiologists and general physicians.
