Description
A visual guide to diagnosing neurologic disorders2010 Benjamin Franklin Silver Award Winner!Anatomic Basis of Neurologic Diagnosis is a lavishly illustrated book that places special emphasis on the paramount importance of signs and symptoms for the accurate diagnosis of neurologic disorders. It opens with a comprehensive review of neuroembryology, enabling readers to gain knowledge of normal nervous system development and related developmental disorders. The second section of the book comprises an easily accessible presentation of the anatomy of regional parts and to-the-point information on the cardinal manifestations of disease. Separate chapters in the third section of the book present the anatomy of different functional systems and provide practical approaches to diagnosing patients with system disorders. A final chapter covers the anatomy of the vascular system and cerebrospinal fluid.Highlights:Practical organization of chapters, according to regions and functional systems, reflects the clinician's approach to patient careFull-color illustrations provide an indispensable visual aid to learning and reviewing clinically relevant neurologic anatomy and pathwaysNumerous tables summarize key pointsIdeal for reading cover-to-cover, this book is essential for residents and students seeking to fully understand the complexity of clinical neuroanatomy. Seasoned clinicians will find the book a valuable refresher.

Praise for this book: "Superbly written...Each anatomic structure is discussed in detail, yet the language is concise and not overwhelming...accompanied by impressive color illustrations that are extensive and original...the perfect resource."--AANS (American Association of Neurological Surgeons) Young Neurosurgeons' Newsletter[Readers] should delight in this volume...the authors have succeeded in giving a practical life to the subject...[the] artistic work is both innovative and useful...agreeably packaged and illustraed in a way accessible to all...an excellent textbook...becoming the standard textbook in the area.--JAMA "The book is a resounding success...in its defining and explaining the anatomic basis for our clinical practice to a comtemporary readership...the illustrations are superb and of just the right degree of complexity and stylization...the diagrams act as a continuous theme or thread within the vairous subject matters of the book...look out for the wonderful explanations and diagrams...excellent value for money...will be applicable and useful to neurosurgeons worldwide." World Neurosurgery
"A very original and didactic book of multidisciplinary interest." -- Pediatric Endocrinology Reviews
"[A] comprehensive 'owner's manual' for the human nervous system that reliably links neurologic disease to relevant clinical neuroanatomy...The perfect balance of text and illustrations that depict only the ...necessary to exemplify important clinical concepts...A perfect reference for the training medical student [and] a refresher for the practicing physician and midlevel provider." -- American Academy of Neurology
"A comprehensive review of anatomic concepts underlying neurologic disorders...The book is superbly written and contains comprehensive and well-described neuroanatomical facts. Each anatomic structure is discussed in detail, yet the language is concise and not overwhelming...The text is accompanied by impressive color illustrations that are extensive and original...provides creative schematics to illustrate key anatomic elements of the nervous system involved in a physiological process...the thorough coverage of anatomic concepts in this textbook makes it the perfect resource for both residents and advanced practitioners."--AANS (American Association of Neurological Surgeons) Young Neurosurgeons' Newsletter
"An easy to read book...the central and periphal neutral pathways (such as the reticular formation) are beautifully shown."--American Journal of Neuroradiology
"Full color illustrations focus attention to the most important aspects...an excellent chapter on the vasculature of the brain...brings together so much information in a clear and concise format. Several resources would typically be needed with lots of page turning to get the same juxtaposition of information and diagrams on any particular topic covered in this one volume...an excellent selection for studying for the Neurology boards or the USMLE Step I neuroscience. Thieme has set the standard for publishing clinical neurology texts with wide appeal to both practitioners and students."--MedicalScienceBooks.com
"The authors...world-class clinical neuroscientists...have done a masterful job...detailed drawings illustrate structure, function, and dysfunction in a single view... The correlation between neuroanatomy and clinical findings is unique...concise and comprehensive."--Doody's Review
