Description and Table of Contents

Description

This is a very practical, comprehensive reference source on the pathology of diseases of the nervous system with the emphasis throughout on how to make a diagnosis. It consists of 17 chapters, each dealing with the diagnosis of a particular neurologic disease. All chapters aim to address the needs of the practising general pathologist, rather than the specialised neuropathologist. It is an ideal daily reference resource on pathology of neurologic diseases.
