Topical Diagnosis in Neurology, Fifth Edition is an ideal reference for neurologists and neuroscientists who correlate neurologic diseases to anatomic location to complete a diagnosis or understand a clinical syndrome. It is also an essential tool for trainees and advanced students who need a solid grounding in key neurofunctional relationships.
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

Synopsis
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. Key features include: -An integrated presentation of the anatomy, physiology, and clinical syndromes of the nervous system which benefits both medical students and practicing physicians-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-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
Synopsis
For decades medical students and practicing physicians all over the world have relied on Duus's classic Topical Diagnosis in Neurology to help them understand the anatomy, function, and disorders of the human nervous system. In this edition, a team of experts combines this proven format with cutting-edge science and up-to-date illustrations for a new generation of medical professionals.
Features include:
Two entirely new chapters on the elements of the nervous system and on the blood supply and vascular disorders of the central nervous system
A interdisciplinary approach, consisting of an integrated presentation of preclinical and clinical knowledge, as well as the anatomy, function, and syndromes of the CNS
A logical, thematic structure, an improved layout, more color-coding, and useful summaries at the beginning of each chapter
Clinical correlations and study aids designed to support and complement current medical school curricula
Completely modernized case studies and state-of-the-art images that reflect current clinical practice
More than 400 illustrations, including four-color anatomical drawings and CT and MR images of the highest quality
Celebrated by readers and reviewers alike for its unique goal-oriented approach, Topical Diagnosis in Neurology -- fully revised -- remains both an excellent refresher for practicing physicians and an essential tool for all those in training.
