Anatomic Basis of Neurologic Diagnosis: A Comprehensive Guide for Neurosurgeons and Neurologists

Authored by renowned neurosurgeons Cary D. Alberstone, Edward C. Benzel, and Michael P. Steinmetz, the second edition of Anatomic Basis of Neurologic Diagnosis provides an anatomical, patient-oriented approach to neurologic diagnosis. Despite advances in neuroimaging techniques, the art of observing and interpreting patient signs and symptoms at bedside remains a crucial aspect of neurology and neurosurgery.

This updated volume presents neuroanatomy in a clear, thorough manner, emphasizing a logical, patient-centered approach to neurologic diagnosis. Unlike standard neuroanatomy texts, this book focuses on the practical application of neuroanatomy in clinical practice.
