Handbook of Veterinary Neurology provides quick access to vital
information on neurologic conditions in a wide range of species,
including canine, feline, bovine, caprine, equine, ovine, and
porcine. A problem-oriented approach makes it easy to diagnose and
treat neurologic problems in small and large animals. The coverage
of disorders by problem, not by established disease diagnosis,
emulates how animals present to the veterinary hospital and
simplifies the formulation of a correct diagnosis. Within each
chapter, discussions of neurologic disease include a review of the
localization criteria and the diseases that can cause that problem,
plus treatment and surgical techniques. Lead author Michael D.
Lorenz brings decades of experience to neurologic assessment, using
a diagnostic approach that requires minimal knowledge of
neuroanatomy. A problem-based approach is organized by presenting
sign rather than by condition, guiding you to logical conclusions
regarding diagnosis and treatment. Algorithms diagram the logic
necessary to localize lesions and to formulate diagnostic plans.
Coverage of current diagnostic techniques includes the use of
diagnostic tools, such as radiology, spinal fluid analysis,
electrodiagnosis, and MR imaging. Case histories in each chapter
present a problem and the results of the neurologic examination,
then ask you to solve the problem by localizing the lesion, listing
probable causes, and making a diagnostic plan. Answers are provided
at the back of the book. A consistent format for each case history
includes signalment, history, physical examination findings, and
neurologic examination. A comprehensive appendix describes species
and breeds that have a congenital predisposition for particular
neurologic diseases. Extensive references make it easy to pursue
in-depth research of more advanced topics. A companion website
includes 20 narrated video clips with accompanying PowerPoint
slides that correlate to the case histories in the book, covering
neurologic assessment and clinical problems such as paresis of one
limb, tetraparesis, stupor, seizures, ataxia of the head and limbs,
and cranial nerve disorders. Two new co-authors, Jean Coates and
Marc Kent, board-certified in neurology, enhance the credibility of
this edition. A full-color design and numerous illustrations
include enhanced images of neuroanatomy and pathology.
