Fully revised and updated, the Third Edition of this respected text continues to provide complete and current information on the sites, causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of focal lesions of the peripheral nervous system. Detailed coverage of individual nerves emphasizes normal anatomy, pathology, and diagnosis. While this edition retains the easy-access organizational framework of prior editions, many more clinical figures have been added to aid readers in improving diagnostic accuracy. Close attention is given to the latest imaging techniques, electrodiagnostic testing methods, and intraoperative electrophysiologic recordings.Early chapters review the gross anatomy and structure of peripheral nerves, the physiologic sequelae of various types of nerve damage, the abnormalities found in electrodiagnostic tests, and the work-up for patients with focal neuropathies. The remaining chapters address the courses and anatomical relations of various nerves, identify the types and sites of lesions, and discuss the investigation and management of specific focal neuropathies.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Authoritative and Readable,
By
This review is from: Focal Peripheral Neuropathies (Hardcover)
This fine book is an excellent reference volume on peripheral nerve injuries. It is organized in an anatomically topical manner with chapters covering all major divisions of the peripheral nervous system. Each chapter reviews the anatomy of that division (eg, brachial plexus, median nerve, etc), the clinical phenomenology and pathology of characteristic nerve injuries, diagnosis, clinical electrophysiology, and management. It is written clearly and organized well with good illustrations. This book is my chosen reference when dealing with focal peripheral nerve problems. I haven't seen a competitor volume that is as comprehensive or as clear. Recommended as a component of the standard bookshelf of all neurologists.

A concise, thorough, and readable textbook of peripheral nerve pathology. Great for residents in training. The text is very understandable and gives a great flavor of the problems.
