Richly illustrated and easy to use, Myelopathy, Radiculopathy, and Peripheral Entrapment Syndromes presents extensive and up-to-date information about the etiopathic and clinical presentation of neurovascular compression insult to the spinal cord, spinal nerve roots, and peripheral nerves. Written with both the student and practitioner in mind, the book covers myelopathy, radiculopathy, and peripheral entrapment syndromes in separate sections, making the information easy to find.
Each section includes:
Introduction
Relevant regional anatomy
Pathophysiology and mechanism of the injury
Clinical signs and symptoms
Electrodiagnostic features
Diagnostic imaging
Syndromes specific to the level of compromise
More than 275 detailed, original illustrations and MRIs allow you to visualize the concepts. More than 130 concise tables cover the topic-specific highlights. These two features combine to give the book a quick-reference quality that sets it apart. Myelopathy, Radiculopathy, and Peripheral Entrapment Syndromes provides all the practical information you need - in one convenient resource - to effectively diagnose and re-evaluate neurological disorders of the spine and extremities from a neurologic perspective.
