内容简介

This unique text, which fills the gap between shorter texts containing little explanatory material and the advanced compendia for those with a good working knowledge of neurological disorders, is intended for the novice and those physicians who require an update on the diagnosis of neurological disorders. To understand the symptoms and signs requires a good knowledge of the gross anatomy of the central nervous system and supporting tissues. This is achieved by the liberal use of the author's own detailed diagrams backed up with concise and practical guidance on diagnosis and treatment as well as appropriate case studies. This long awaited second edition of a highly popular guide reflects recent advances in the subject such as computed tomography and MRI which have replaced more invasive examination techniques. The tutorial approach will present readers with an authoritative view of the fundamentals of neurology in practice.
