Description
This provides information on the pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of neurological diseases. Coverage includes data on AIDS and the nervous system, advanced information on neurogenetic disorders and the latest therapies for stroke, the epilepsies, Parkinson's disease, central nervous system infections, tumours, multiple sclerosis, myasthenia gravis and the muscular dystrophies. The 52 contributors update all previous work on the clinical management of genetic neurolgic diseases; cerebrovascular disease; intracranial neoplasms; cerebellar disorders; diseases of the cranial nerves and brain stem; disorders of cerebrospinal fluid circulation; infections of the central nervous system; headache syndromes; the epilepsies; diseases of the extrapyramidal system; diseases of the spinal cord; diseases of the autonomic and peripheral nervous system; diseases of the muscle; demyelinating diseases; metabolic encephalopathies; neuroendocrinologic diseases; and neurotoxic syndromes. The coverage includes a review of the biological basis of psychiatric disorders, the comatose patient, neuro-ophthalmologic diseases, and neuro-otologic disorders of the vestibular system and the auditory system.
This resource is designed for neurologists and specialists in related disciplines such as neuro-ophthalmology, neuro-otology, and orthopaedic and neurological surgery.
