CLINICAL NEUROLOGY & NEUROANATOMY: AN INTEGRATED APPROACH

DESCRIPTION

An engaginglywritten text that bridges thegap between neuroanatomy and clinical neurology

One ofthe best modern outlooks on thepragmatic practice of neurology ... far superior to existing books of its sizeand scope because of thethoughtfulness with which the knowledgeabout diseases and neurological conditions has been assembled ... addressing almost every majorpointthat is encounteredon the wardsand in the clinic.
From the Foreword by Allan H. Ropper, MD, Executive Vice Chair of Neurology,Brigham and Women'sHospital; and Professor of Neurology, Harvard Medical School

Clinical Neurologyand Neuroanatomy delivers a clear, logical discussion of the complexrelationship between neuroanatomical structure and function andneurologic disease. Written in a clear, concise style, this unique textoffers a concise overview of fundamental neuroanatomy and the clinical localizationprinciples necessary to diagnose andtreat patients with neurologic diseases. Unlike other neurology textbooks that either focus onneuroanatomy or clinical neurology, Clinical Neurology and Neuroanatomy integrates thetwo in manner which simulatesthe way neurologistslearn, teach, and think.

Clinical Neurologyand Neuroanatomy is divided intotwo main sections. In Part 1, clinically relevant neuroanatomy is presented in clinical context in order to provide a frameworkfor neurologic localization and differential diagnosis. The diseases mentioned in localization-based discussions of differential diagnosis in Part 1are then discussed in clinical detail with respect totheir diagnosis and management in Part 2.  Part 1 can therefore be consulted for a neuroanatomical localization-based approach to symptomevaluation, and Part 2 forthe clinical features, diagnosis, and management of neurologicdiseases.
