2010 Benjamin Franklin Silver Award Winner! Praise for this book: Superbly written...Each anatomic structure is discussed in detail, yet the language is concise and not overwhelming...accompanied by impressive color illustrations that are extensive and original...the perfect resource.--AANS (American Association of Neurological Surgeons) Young Neurosurgeons' Newsletter Anatomic Basis of Neurologic Diagnosis is a lavishly illustrated book that places special emphasis on the paramount importance of signs and symptoms for the accurate diagnosis of neurologic disorders. It opens with a comprehensive review of neuroembryology, enabling readers to gain knowledge of normal nervous system development and related developmental disorders. The second section of the book comprises an easily accessible presentation of the anatomy of regional parts and to-the-point information on the cardinal manifestations of disease. Separate chapters in the third section of the book present the anatomy of different functional systems and provide practical approaches to diagnosing patients with system disorders. A final chapter covers the anatomy of the vascular system and cerebrospinal fluid. Highlights: * Practical organization of chapters, according to regions and functional systems, reflects the clinician's approach to patient care * Full-color illustrations provide an indispensable visual aid to learning and reviewing clinically relevant neurologic anatomy and pathways * Numerous tables summarize key points Ideal for reading cover-to-cover, this book is essential for residents and students seeking to fully understand the complexity of clinical neuroanatomy. Seasoned clinicians will find the book a valuable refresher.

L'idea di raccogliere in un testo i principali quadri clinici otoneurologici è nata dal desiderio di offrire ai Colleghi, non solo Otoiatri, Oculisti, Neurologi, Neurochirurghi, la possibilità di una facile consultazione di queste forme cliniche che col trascorre del tempo hanno richiamato un interesse sempre più vasto. Infatti, molte delle manifestazioni otoneurologiche rappresentano una parte di rilievo del corredo sintomatologico di numerose malattie a carattere generale la cui valutazione diagnostica richiede un contributo pluridisciplinare. A brevi note sull'anatomia e fisiologia del Sistema vestibolare, segue la descrizione delle caratteristiche semeiologiche delle lesioni otoneurologiche e delle indagini cliniche che vengono eseguite sul paziente per una corretta valutazione diagnostica. Nel secondo e terzo Capitolo sono descritti i principali quadri clinici otoneurologici d'origine periferica e centrale. La numerosa casistica, corredata da referti elettronistagmografici e neuroradiologici appartiene al Servizio di Otoneurologia della Clinica ORL di Padova, che ho diretto per oltre trent'anni.

First published in 2016, Instant Neurological Diagnosis quickly became a must-have for the practicing neurologist looking to acquire the expertise to make rapid diagnoses. This best-selling guide became an indispensable source of diagnostic clues, starting from a patient's appearance all the way down to a directed clinical examination. In this completely revised and updated resource, the authors continue to provide a one-of-a-kind work that illustrates unique neurologic cases with their specific signs and clues, without revealing the actual diagnosis. With the aid of Handles and Flags, the reader is guided toward the correct conclusion. These powerful diagnostic short cuts - identified as "Handles" and "Flags" - must be used with caution. Armed with the potential to save you hours of valuable time, they may even demonstrate your superior clinical acumen above colleagues. Some might permit a rapid diagnosis, while others warn a clinician to reconsider and think of an alternative solution.
