ASPEN PUB.

A practical guide to the diagnosis and management of neurologic diseases and disorders. Like other volumes in the "Decision Making" series, this book approaches clinical decision making from an algorithmic format. Algorithms outline the key decision points in patient management, encouraging the reader to think systematically and follow a logical sequence throught the steps of diagnostic decisions. Because many neurologic problems are difficult to diagnose, the subject lends itself to the step-by-step decision-making process emphasized in this series. Brief text accompanies each algorithm, explaining the significance of important decision points. The book begins with a section on presenting symptoms and signs (such as headaches, weakness, visual loss and behavioural change), and then discusses specific neurologic conditions. Sections and subsections are as follows: symptoms and signs; specific neurologic conditions; vascular disorders; seizures; head trauma; neoplastic disease; peripheral nervous disorders; muscle disease; movement disorders; infectious-inflammatory disorders; and other neurologic conditions.
