This Handbook is a remarkable addition to the neurological literature, a concise and comprehensive guide to clinical practice in neurology, written in elegant prose, a tribute to Queen Square and to the contributions that both Hospital and Institute have made to neurology. It is the culmination of wisdom gained over a long career. For practitioners in the art of neurology, junior and senior, this is essential reading.

--Simon Shorvon, National Hospital for Neurology & Neurosurgery, Queen Square

Neurology: A Clinical Handbook is a practical text for neurologists and general physicians, in the wards, the office, or at home. This book spans the breadth of neurology and its challenges, for those who require a rapid resource in accessible language.

The Handbook is also aimed at those considering entering neurology, neurophysiology, and neurorehabilitation, and for medical trainees and consultants in many specialties. It is an invaluable source for the MRCP, a ready-made reference for clinical practice, and for the specialist nurse and therapist.

The book deals with essentials - of neuroanatomy, clinical examination, mechanisms of neurological disease, and the major issues of dementia and stroke in an aging population. More specific aspects of neurology are also addressed, including the specialist fields of nerve and muscle disease, the spinal cord, headache, and the cranial nerves, infection in the nervous system, MS, and sleep disorders. The allied disciplines of neurorehabilitation, neuropsychiatry, neuro-oncology, neuro-neurology, neuro-otology, and neuro-ophthalmology are also covered.

The aim is to provide both an introduction and a summary - of general neurological practice and the specialist aspects of neurology and neuroscience.
