Description:

This modern approach to neurology provides a framework within which the young doctor can see that the subject lies at the heart of internal medicine, and should not be regarded as an arcane speciality. The book first covers the principles of diagnosis, investigation, and treatment. The author shows how careful history-taking and examination will allow an accurate diagnosis of the site of malfunction, without the need for vast stores of esoteric knowledge. He lays special emphasis upon the management of common yet problematical symptoms such as headache and facial pain. The book next comprehensively covers the principal diseases and syndromes in neurology. Greatest weight is given to the commonest illnesses such as stroke, dementia, and multiple sclerosis, and the author stresses how recent advances in scientific medicine have increased our understanding of their epidemiology and management. Finally there is a discussion of rehabilitation and the management of chronic disease and handicap. This text is aimed at junior doctors studying for professional exams, practising physicians, neurologists, and senior medical students.
