Summary:

This book focuses on clinical neurology. A large number of common neurological disorders are seen by primary care physicians and internists. In fact, there is no need for a neurologist to see all such cases. Methodical evaluation is the key to proper diagnosis and management. The book contains common neurological conditions which can be managed by primary care physicians and internists. Only a few cases need a reference to a neurologist. The common diseases described here are cerebrovascular stroke, Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, back and neck pain, gait imbalances, etc. with illustrative cases and tables for quick reference. Even symptom-oriented diseases like tension headache, migraine, giddiness and dementia are also dealt with. This book is an attempt to emphasize in no uncertain terms that clinical neurology is supreme, more so in this era of technological advances. This book will be a ready-reckoner in the busy OPD practice. Illustrated case histories with step-wise diagnosis are provided to help the clinician think and analyze the symptoms accurately.
