内容説明
This major textbook deals comprehensively with the neurological disorders of old age, and provides an essentially practical guide to their presentation and management. Forty specialist contributors give a broad range of coverage, discussing the influence of age on the pattern of disease, and giving an up-to-date account of changing knowledge of both the well-known and relatively unexplored areas of geriatric neurology. Practical approaches are given to symptoms such as giddiness, episodic loss of consciousness, headaches and confusional states which occur frequently in the elderly. The book also contains a large section on neurological rehabilitation.
