First edition received a prestigious 2010 IBPA Benjamin Franklin
Silver Award for excellence in publishing An anatomical,
patient-oriented approach to neurologic diagnosis from renowned
neurosurgeons Despite strides in advanced neuroimaging techniques,
what remains constant in the practice of neurology and neurosurgery
is the enduring value of observing and interpreting patient signs
and symptoms at bedside. Authored by renowned neurosurgeons Cary D.
Alberstone, Edward C. Benzel, Michael P. Steinmetz and
distinguished colleagues, Anatomic Basis of Neurologic Diagnosis,
Second Edition details neuroanatomy in an organized, thorough
manner, tipping its hat to the art and science of neurologic
diagnosis. Like the widely acclaimed first edition, the updated
volume emphasizes a logical, patient-oriented approach to
neurologic diagnosis, conspicuously absent from most standard
neuroanatomy texts. New to this second edition are a portfolio of
carefully curated MRI images and sections on neuroplasticity,
peripheral nerve architecture, peripheral nerve injury and
recovery, electrodiagnostic diagnosis of radiculopathy, tremor,
deep brain stimulation targets (and side effects), autonomic
disorders, altered states of consciousness, and spontaneous
intracerebral hemorrhage. Two sophisticated new chapters address
our current understanding of Memory and Neural Networks. Key
Features: Clinically pertinent anatomy is described succinctly and
in plain language The cardinal manifestations of regional nervous
system disorders facilitate localization of lesions Logical
approaches to system-based complaints aid in differential diagnosis
Learning objectives begin each chapter, graced by a variety of
easy-to-grasp conceptual drawings MRI images, new to this edition,
enrich and amplify the text The authors present a practical,
reader-friendly, and patient-centric approach to diagnosing
neurological disorders. Residents, fellows, and practitioners in
neurology, neurosurgery, and neuroradiology, and those studying for
board examinations, will enjoy reading this indispensable resource.
