The fifth edition of Duus' classic title Topical Diagnosis in Neurology continues to provide a 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 including 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.
