Summary:

Tawil (neurology, U. of Rochester Medical Center) and Venance (neurology, U. of Western Ontario, Canada) compile 32 chapters that introduce students, trainees, and practicing neurologists to the management of patients with common and rare acquired and inherited neuromuscular dysfunction, including myopathies and disorders of neuromuscular junction, the peripheral nerve, and motor neurons. For each disorder, neurologists and related specialists from North America, the UK, Australia, and New Zealand discuss clinical features, disease processes and mechanisms, diagnosis, management, tips and tricks, pitfalls, and scientific background.
