Localization in Clinical Neurology

This text explains the process of localization in the central and peripheral nervous systems. Organized into separate chapters on the various nerves, plexuses and brain regions which control nervous system function, each chapter begins with a description of the anatomy of the particular nerve or structure and the principal signs or symptoms of the abnormalities occuring in that part of the nervous system. This is followed by a more detailed account of lesions of individual structures; each of these substructures is discussed in terms of its anatomical location; its function; the clinical signs accompanying the lesion; and the deformity, malfunction or other symptom which a patient can develop. The book is practical in that it demonstrates how to piece together findings from the neurological examination with specific areas of peripheral or central nervous system damage.
