Thoroughly updated for its Eighth Edition, this highly praised volume of
the House Officer Series is a succinct, symptom-oriented pocket
guide to diagnosis, treatment, and management of common neurological
disorders. Each chapter opens with a clinical case study and proceeds to
classification of symptoms, history, physical examination, laboratory
tests, differential diagnosis, diagnosis, treatment, and management.
This edition includes a new glossary of neurological terms, a new
chapter on evidence-based neurology, a revised, more thorough chapter on
localization of neurological disease, updated illustrations, and current
references. The author reviews the latest advances in therapeutics,
particularly in movement disorders, stroke, neuroimmunology, brain tumor
treatment, headache pharmacology, and epilepsy.
