Duus' Topical Diagnosis in Neurology - Anatomy, Physiology, Signs, Symptoms
Book description
Now in a new, larger format, this Fifth edition of the classic
Topical Diagnosis in Neurology
provides the clear, integrated presentation of anatomy, function, and
disorders of the central nervous system and serves as a quick reference
for practitioners and trainees alike. It elucidates the neuroanatomical
pathways that lead to specific clinical syndromes, and demonstrates how
solid anatomical knowledge combined with a thorough neurological
examination can help localize a lesion and arrive at a diagnosis.
Features of the Fifth Edition:
A modern, integrated, and interdisciplinary approach to topical
neurologic diagnosis, showing how knowledge of basic neuroanatomy and
neurophysiology can be applied in the clinical setting
An enlarged page design that showcases more than 400 detailed
anatomic illustrations and CT and MRI images of the highest quality
A logical, thematic structure, with useful summaries at the
beginning of each chapter and color-coded section headings that enable
readers to distinguish between neuroanatomical and clinical material at-a-glance
A collection of updated case studies, state-of-the-art imaging
examples, and a new introduction to the principle components of the
nervous system
A wide range of study aids and clinical correlations that support
the emphasis on integrative medicine in the current medical school curriculum
Topical Diagnosis in Neurology, Fifth Edition
is an ideal reference for neurologists and neuroscientists who
correlate neurologic diseases to anatomic location to complete a
diagnosis or understand a clinical syndrome. It is also an essential
tool for trainees and advanced students who need a solid grounding in
key neurofunctional relationships. "What has been wholly
preserved [in this edition], thankfully, is this classic text's approach
to teaching neuroanatomy through an integrated presentation of the
anatomy, function, and clinical relevance of the regions and pathways of
the central nervous system. Such an approach provides readers with a
variety of ways to become more familiar with a subject that is often
complex and known to inspire both admiration and dread. ...The book's
dimensions do make it more inviting to open and leaf through, and its
relatively small price is similarly inviting. I would recommend this
book to anyone seeking greater familiarity with neuroanatomy and with
the anatomical localization of neurological signs and
symptoms."--Journal of Neurosurgery Professor of Neurol. and
