Clinical Neurology and Neuroanatomy is a comprehensive and engaging text that bridges the gap between neuroanatomy and clinical neurology. Written in a concise and conversational style, this unique text offers a valuable overview of fundamental neuroanatomy and the clinical localization principles necessary to diagnose and treat patients with neurologic diseases and disorders.

The text is divided into main sections, with Part I teaching the neuroanatomy essential for clinical localization and demonstrating how to apply this knowledge to clinical reasoning in developing a differential diagnosis for common neurologic symptoms such as weakness, sensory changes, visual loss, ataxia, diplopia, anisocoria, and dizziness. A detailed overview of the neurologic examination and a primer on interpretation of neurodiagnostic tests, with a focus on neuroimaging and CSF analysis, is also included.

Part II provides an up-to-date synthesis of the diagnosis and treatment of neurologic diseases, including epilepsy, stroke, neurologic infections, demyelinating diseases, dementia, movement disorders, neurologic complications of cancer and its treatment, and conditions of the peripheral nervous system. More than 50 radiologic images of common and rare neurologic conditions and over 30 tables summarizing key aspects of various conditions and their treatment are featured.

Clinical Neurology and Neuroanatomy is an ideal companion for students on their neurology rotation, neurology residents, and any healthcare practitioner looking for a quick, clear, and up-to-date resource in neurology.

The second edition of this text has been updated and expanded to include new chapters on neuroimaging, genetics, and neurorehabilitation, as well as a comprehensive glossary of neurologic terms. It also features a new section on clinical decision-making, which provides guidance and guidance on how to approach and manage patients with neurologic conditions.

Overall, Clinical Neurology and Neuroanatomy is a must-have resource for anyone interested in neurology, whether they are students, residents, or practitioners. Its comprehensive coverage of neuroanatomy and clinical neurology, combined with its engaging and accessible style, makes it an invaluable tool for anyone looking to improve their understanding and expertise in this field.
