Designed to provide medical students with a short and practical introduction to clinical neurology, this text contains three main sections. The first deals with taking a history and carrying out an examination of the nervous system, the second with radiological, electrophysiological and laboratory investigations and the third with the commoner diseases that affect the nervous system. The emphasis is on how to acquire the clinical skills needed for diagnosis and management. When writing about diseases of the nervous system the author has concentrated on conditions which are important either because they are common or because they are treatable and has also explained the relevant neuroanatomy and neurophysiology where necessary.

The previous edition of the book surveyed knowledge of selected topics in multiple sclerosis up to 1983. Succeeding years have seen notable advances in means of investigation and increasing sophistication in the collection of epidemiological data and in the organization and assessment of therapeutic trials. In the laboratory, the nature of the disease process has been tenaciously pursued. Despite this continuously increasing endeavour, the goals of revealing the cause of the disease and of limiting or reversing its effects have not yet been achieved. As before, emphasis has been placed in clinical aspects, but even here the topic is so vast that important areas have had to be neglected, in particular the social implications of the disease, the management of day-to-day problems in the home and the extent of practical help available. These are covered by many admirable publications, written with the necessary involvement of people with multiple sclerosis, and circumstances vary greatly from one country to another.
