This informative and entertaining compilation of 50 short neurological cases demonstrates important principles in clinical localization and differential diagnosis. Each case presents the key elements without revealing the diagnosis at first. A vivid clinical scenario provides enough information for the student to localize the site of the lesion and for the experienced neurological physician to reach a differential diagnosis. Each case description is followed by one or two illustrations, the diagnosis, and then a commentary by a Mayo Clinic consultant. The commentary highlights the issues in the differential diagnosis and provides an update on what is currently known about the specific diagnostic entity. The book will be of interest to physicians and surgeons caring for neurological patients at each stage of their career. It will be of particular help to medical students and to residents and fellows in neurology and neurosurgery. Internists, pediatricians, geriatricians, and psychiatrists will also find it useful.
Neurological Therapeutics is a two-volume reference text that covers all aspects of pharmaceutical and interventional therapy for neurological diseases and disorders. Whereas many texts have superficially covered treatments, this book examines which therapies are currently available, how effective they are, and what results one can expect. All the contributors are well-known in their subspecialties and the 268 chapters are based on personal experience. John Noseworthy has selected the world's leading neurologists as section editors, and they in turn have chosen leaders from all the neurological subspecialties. Given the comprehensive coverage within the 14 sections, neurologists will readily consult this book for both rare and common diseases and disorders, whether their patients are elderly, middle-aged or adolescent. Martin Dunitz has collaborated closely with the Mayo Clinic Publications Department to produce this magnificent work that will be read by neurologists, psychiatrists, geriatricians and pediatricians.
