PRODUCT INFORMATION
Description
The sixth edition of Introduction to Clinical Neurology continues to present a straightforward and systematic approach to diagnosing diseases of the nervous system. Extensively revised to reflect medical advances and now including supplementary tables for quick reference, this engaging textbook explains the neurologic diseases and presenting symptoms that clinicians are likely to encounter in daily practice. It also provides streamlined summaries ofclinically relevant nervous system pathways to help non-neurologists deduce the site of dysfunction. Each chapter begins with a set of clinical vignettes and associated questions, which arediscussed at the end of the chapter. The final chapter provides twelve additional clinical vignettes and accompanying questions intended to allow the reader to practice applying the principles of localization and diagnostic reasoning covered in the first three chapters, and to review some of the specific disorders covered throughout the book.
Critic Reviews
The book represents very good value for money, costing under £40 which is relatively cheap these days for a high-quality textbook which packs in a lot of information within the bulky paperback. I would highly recommend it as a bridging text which lies between an introductory text and large detailed textbook. Harry Brown, Pavilion Health Today
