Product Description
Now in its Fifth Edition, this classic text provides a systematic approach to the anatomic localization of clinical problems in neurology. It offers clinicians a roadmap for moving from the symptom or observed sign to the place in the central or peripheral nervous system where the problem is. Clear discussions by three well-known authors provide a full understanding of why a symptom or sign can be localized to a particular anatomic area. More than 100 illustrations demonstrate relevant anatomy. This edition has been thoroughly updated and includes new charts to aid in differential diagnosis of various neurologic findings and disorders. "Doody's Core Titles™ 2009."

Excellent text, light on illustrations. by Jason Harris (Gaithersburg, MD USA)

The text of this book is excellent... very thorough discussion of symptoms/signs of various localizations and good lists of the accompanying differentials. However, in most of the chapters, illustrations are light and inadequate. If one has a very good understanding of neuroanatomy or a good atlas, this doesn't present a huge problem. I would highly recommend this book for those already familiar with the fundamentals of neurology.

An excellent book on the clinical localization of neurological symptoms. A bit tough to digest, that's only because it's so rich in valuable information. It should be a fixture in the bookshelf of any practicing neurologist. Everytime I read it, I learn something new.

Once you have mastered clinical neurology and passed the boards, you need this book. It contains all the neurotrivia, all the elements of clinical localization that you need at the bedside and simply can't keep in your brain from day to day. I'm not talking about elementary stuff like the common etiologies of acute 3rd nerve palsy or the basic elements of the Brown-Sequard syndrome. That stuff is in here but it's assumed that you know it already. No, I'm talking about things like, for example, the differential of sector palsy of the iris sphincter, or the masterful discussion of simple ways to separate out a pupil blown from a Pcomm aneurysm from one that accidentally had some albuterol dripped into it. Dry: yes, it is. Dull - if you flip it open at random, it makes excellent bedside reading for insomniacs, it'll put you right to sleep. But when you are faced with a physical finding and don't know how to incorporate it into the clinical picture, there is NO SUBSTITUTE for this book. If I were stranded on a desert island and forced to practice neurological diagnosis with only my extensive training and one book to help me, this would be that book.

This book is one of the best books in this field. Since many years I look it up, amazed about the rich content. It is a MUST to any neurologist.

Hi Everyone...This book is amazing. I'm going into Neurology Residency, and got this book to prepare myself. The text is really well written, thorough, very detailed, and easy to follow. Not as thick as I imagined though.
