Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

The ideal guide to clinical neurology, this new edition of one of the most useful references in medicine provides the latest diagnostic and treatment information in an easy-to-use format. Keeping pace with rapid progress in neurologic treatment and understanding, fully 50% of this book has been updated, with many chapters completely rewritten. What has not changed in Basic Neurology is the concise the compact format offering convenient access to the most needed procedures and data. Basic Neurology opens with review of examination for common conditions, including headaches and seizures. For easy reference, the remainder of the book categorizes neurologic disorders by signs, symptoms, and syndromes, in a well-organized tabular format. Within each category, each individual disorder is described by definition, cause, pathologic features, clinical features, diagnostic procedures, differential diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis. More convenient than textbooks and far more thorough than abbreviated guides, this handbook gives you what you need at a moment's notice without skimping on essential causal, diagnostic, and treatment information. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
