Product Description
Recognized for its practice-oriented approach to neurology that is based on the patient's presenting symptoms or signs, this comprehensive book is organized according to problems rather than by specific diseases. Among its features are coverage of basic neuroanatomy, clinically-oriented discussions of each neurological disease, boxed chapter outlines at the beginning of each chapter, extensive tables and figures, and an appendix that provides a step-by-step description of the neurologic examination.

Review
"All the major clinical areas of neurology are covered using a systems approach. From cell neurophysiology to the gross anatomy and physiologic correlates, the book covers the relevant clinical neurology. As an introduction, it serves as a good bridge between the basic science and the world of clinical neurology. Particularly helpful are the clinical vignettes in each chapter that reinforce the clinical relevance of the basic science material presented." "The book is one of the best in its category. It is very useful and is one of the most comprehensive, yet readable books for residents and students."

Clinical Neurology
As a medical student there are a vast amount of books to look at on this subject. Most sadly don't cover the kind of things you need and you end up buying more books. This book I found particularly good. The presentation of what you see in clinacal cases was execellent. It explained concisely the rationale for certain types of testing/assessments, reviewing core knowledge where required. I can't praise this book enough. Ideal for the student finding their way into the clinical world yet I suspect not detailed enough for the established clinician.
