The third edition of this highly successful reference provides quick access to essential information on small and large animal neurology. A problem-oriented organization, by presenting sign rather than by condition, makes diagnosis straightforward even for readers who have a minimal knowledge of neuroanatomy. This book enables practitioners to effectively diagnose a full range of neurolgic problems, from monoparesis to complex disorders of the brain, and points the way toward today's most reliable treatment approaches. Review of the Last Edition: "This is an excellent contribution to the veterinary literature, a text that should be used throughout the veterinary curriculum and by practitioners as well." --JAVMA Features: * Introduces the fundamental aspects of the neurologic examination, lesion localization, and general diagnostic principles. * Details all current diagnostic techniques, from the initial history and examination to the use of diagnostic tools such as radiology, spinal fluid analysis, electrodiagnosis, and MRI. * Offers a multitude of figures and algorithms to facilitate diagnoses, plus abundant illustrations of neuroanatomy and pathology.
* Concludes each chapter with clinical case histories that build readers' understanding of the material. Solutions are also provided.
