Summary:

In this concise yet comprehensive volume, a neurologist and a neuroradiologist have combined to provide a fresh approach to clinical neurology. Practical and patient-oriented, the clearly structured text integrates presentation, pathology, radiology, diagnosis and management options, and is enriched by over 800 illustrations of the highest quality, ranging from anatomical drawings to clinical photographs and pathology specimens, plus imaging using the latest techniques. With its emphasis on more common conditions, the book is a major source for trainees and students in neurology, an accessible resource for course directors and educators, and a valuable reference for neurologists, radiologists and general physicians.
