Product Description

Duus' Topical Diagnosis in Neurology has been a valuable aid to generations of medical students and physicians all over the world. It has appeared in 14 languages and has been continually updated at short intervals to take account of newly gained knowledge. The current, comprehensively revised edition was written by a new team of authors to preserve the positive aspects that have won this book a wide and appreciative audience. <br><br>Key features include: <br>-An integrated presentation of the anatomy, physiology, and clinical syndromes of the nervous system which benefits both medical students and practicing physicians<br>-A transdisciplinary approach which breaks down the traditional, artificial separation of "preclinical" from "clinical" knowledge and "basic science" from human neurology, making this text suitable for the contemporary medical school curriculum<br>-Updated content in a layout with better "signposting", four-color anatomical drawings throughout, modernized case histories (including numerous CT and MR images), and new first and last chapters on the fundamental elements of the nervous system and the CNS blood supply

Review

"What has been wholly preserved [in this edition], thankfully, is this classic text's approach to teaching neuroanatomy through an integrated presentation of the anatomy, function, and clinical relevance of the regions and pathways of the central nervous system. Such an approach provides readers with a variety of ways to become more familiar with a subject that is often complex and known to inspire both admiration and dread. ...The book's dimensions do make it more inviting to open and leaf through, and its relatively small price is similarly inviting. I would recommend this book to anyone seeking greater familiarity with neuroanatomy and with the anatomical localization of neurological signs and symptoms."--Journal of Neurosurgery

Best book supporting topographical examination in neurology.5
In my opinion one of the best books about relationship between anatomical changes and clinical symptoms in neurology. It is continuation of tradition of german school in neurology. Contents of this book is focused on physical examination of the patient and do not concentrate on laboratory investigations. It supports recent knowledge about anatomy and physiology of central and peripheral nervous systems. It is written very precisely and consequently. The book contains very didactical figures and schemes performed by Gerhard Spitzer. They very simply and completely explain topographical relations. Most of the illustrations are double coloured. Descriptions of clinical cases enriche didactical values. It comprise a lot of informations which are compressed in relatively small volume. I warmly recommend this book for students of medicine who actually learn neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, neuropathology and neurology as well as for postgraduated clinicians.

Carried this for 15 years of practice5
Love this book. 15 years of private practice Neurology, I've used this book to explain disorders to patients, consulting doctors, and myself. Getting a new one because my old one is too dog-eared.
