Neurology for the Non-Neurologist has been an indispensable resource for primary care clinicians for four decades. In this fully revised and updated 7th edition, editors Dr. Steven L. Lewis and Dr. Aaron L. Berkowitz have reimagined this classic text, collaborating with an entirely new team of expert contributing authors to provide a practical approach to the evaluation of patients with neurologic symptoms and a comprehensive up-to-date guide to the diagnosis and treatment of common neurologic diseases encountered in the outpatient clinic and in the hospital. Introductory chapters by the editors provide a practical approach to neurologic diagnosis, including the neurologic history, neurologic examination, and the interpretation of neurodiagnostic tests such as CT, MRI, electroencephalography (EEG), nerve conduction studies/electromyography (NCS/EMG), and cerebrospinal fluid analysis Ten chapters describe a practical clinical approach to commonly encountered neurologic symptoms such as headache, dizziness, cognitive changes, sensory symptoms, weakness, visual changes, abnormal movements, abnormal gait, and altered level of consciousness Thirteen chapters provide a comprehensive and up-to-date discussion of the diagnosis and treatment of all commonly encountered neurologic conditions including migraine and other headache disorders, stroke, seizures and epilepsy, Alzheimer disease and other causes of dementia, Parkinson disease and other movement disorders, multiple sclerosis, meningitis and other neurologic infections, peripheral neuropathy, ALS, myasthenia gravis, muscle diseases, sleep disorders, head trauma, and common conditions of the spine, spinal cord, and nerve roots Three chapters cover the diagnosis and treatment of neurologic disorders in pregnancy, neurologic complications of cancer and cancer treatments, and the neurologic manifestations of systemic conditions Editors’ Key Points at the end of every chapter summarize and highlight the most important clinical pearls on each topic

PrefazioneServono ancora i trattati nell’era di internet? La risposta è naturalmente “sì”, e non può essere altrimenti, visto che mi sono cimentato in questa attività.Servono perché sono dei mobili con molti cassetti, in cui chi consulta internet (cioè tutti noi) può mettere le nozioni di nuova generazione. Senza i cassetti, e lo schema razionale che li sottende, le nuove informazioni viaggiano prive di ancoraggio, generano sicuramente idee ma non consentono di edificare una costruzione solida. Costruzione che deve essere continuamente rinnovata (e internet a questo serve), ma deve appoggiarsi su una realtà di base, come a dire la struttura di un edificio che consente di seguire dalle finestre lo scorrere del tempo e delle nozioni , orientando le scelte. Non tutto il nuovo va conservato, e una selezione è inevitabile. I trattati servono a fornire le linee guida per la selezione e il peso delle novità.Per la bibliografia a fine di ogni capitolo, che ho denominato “Indicazioni di lettura”, ho indicato i lavori di cui mi sono servito, senza richiamarli nel testo per non appesantire la lettura ma affidandomi alla chiara indicazione del titolo della pubblicazione; inoltre ho fornito consigli di approfondimento che riuniscono testi storici, articoli basilari e acquisizioni recenti. Ho rinunciato a citare le indicazioni tratte da internet, elenco difficile, fluttuante e dispersivo.Devo non pochi ringraziamenti ai miei allievi e collaboratori, quelli che hanno proseguito il lavoro universitario e quelli che hanno scelto altri percorsi.Forse ho insegnato alcune cose, non tanto in termini di dottrina quanto di atteggiamento di fronte al paziente e di fronte alla ribollente cultura neurologica: correttezza, curiosità, critica, comunicazione. Sono stato ampiamente ricompensato da quanto hanno continuato a insegnarmi; e, in questi ultimi anni, dalla libertà che mi è stata accordata di utilizzare una sede di lavoro in Clinica Neurologica e dell’amicizia da cui mi sono sentito circondato. Non mi è concesso fare nomi, neppure in ordine alfabetico. Tutti li riunisco in un ideale abbraccio. Mario Manfredi
