Practical, up-to-date strategies for assessing and managing the neurologic conditions most frequently seen in adults and children • Introductory chapters address specific symptoms and diagnostic procedures; subsequent chapters are disease specific and adhere to a standard format, beginning with Essentials of Diagnosis, followed by Clinical Findings, Differential Diagnosis, Treatment, and Prognosis • Coverage of disorders in both adults and children • Thorough coverage of diagnostic tests and the very latest pharmacologic treatments • Practical information on common conditions such as headaches, movement disorders, and central nervous system infections • Valuable to anyone who sees patients with neurologic complaints, whether in primary care or the neurology clinic • Expert help with ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke, epilepsy, sleeping disorders, dizziness, hearing loss, dementia and memory loss, and more • Each chapter written by experts in that area, without losing readability or coherence
