Description
Neurology
Book Summary
This new edition of the benchmark work in Neurology offers an eminently educational text, written by the leading experts in Spain. Designed for both undergraduate students and residents specializing in the field, the book maintains its classic structure: the first chapters address the bases of clinical diagnosis and major neurological syndromes, while the subsequent ones focus on specific nosological entities. The reader will find rigorously updated content with new figures, tables, decision algorithms, and a refreshed bibliography, complemented by extensive online material that includes practical cases, semiology videos, and self-assessment tools.
What is it about?
The work is divided into three major blocks to facilitate progressive learning. The first, comprising the initial 14 chapters, lays the foundations of clinical diagnosis in neurology, explaining the fundamentals of complementary examinations and addressing major neurological syndromes or disorders, such as headaches, pain, and consciousness disorders. The second block, with the next 15 chapters, deals with specific nosological entities: infectious or vascular diseases, epilepsies, movement disorders, tumors, demyelinating and neurodegenerative diseases affecting motor neurons, spinocerebellar systems, or those culminating in cognitive impairment and dementia. Finally, the work closes with three chapters dedicated to neurogenetics, mechanisms of neurodegeneration (in a completely new chapter), and bioethics in neurology. The entire text has been revised and updated, incorporating new figures, tables, and diagnostic algorithms, and updating the bibliography.
