Description
About the Book
Neuroanatomy through Clinical Cases: brings a pioneering interactive approach to the teaching of neuroanatomy, using over 100 actual Clinical Cases and high-quality radiologic images to bring the subject to life. This approach allows students to appreciate the clinical relevance of structural details as they are being learned, and to integrate knowledge of disparate functional systems, since a single lesion may affect several different neural structures and pathways.
Most of the book is comprised of chapters that explain the major neuroanatomic systems. Each chapter first presents background materialincluding an overview of relevant neuroanatomic structures and pathways, and a brief discussion of related clinical disorders. The second half of each chapter is devoted to Clinical Cases. The cases begin with a narrative of how the patient developed symptoms, and what deficits were found on neurological examination. Boldface type highlights important symptoms and signs. A series of questions challenges the reader to deduce the neuroanatomic location of the patient's lesion, and the diagnosis. Discussion and answers follow, and an epilogue reveals the actual outcome.
One of the book's most innovative features is the inclusion of CT and MRI scans that depict each patient's lesion. These radiographs help the reader develop skills in interpreting the same kinds of diagnostic images employed in clinical practice.
