Description
Designed around the three-step process used by clinical neurologists to diagnose and treat their patients, "Textbook of Clinical Neurology, 2nd Edition" covers anatomical localization and definition of clinical syndromes based on history and examination; the use of diagnostic tools to confirm a diagnosis; and the aetiology and pathophysiology of neurological illnesses to establish a cause of disorders. This logical and uniform format makes it easy to use for reference and in clinical practice. The accompanying CD-ROM includes the full text and illustrations from the book, a search engine, clinical exercises, and video clips.
