Ebook Neurologi : Fundamentals of Neurology ; An Illustrated Guide
Just a few decades ago, neurology and the neuro-
sciences in general were contemplative disciplines
oriented toward clinical phenomena and their corre-
lation with pathoanatomic findings. Definitive diag-
nosis and treatment were only rarely feasible. Today,
clinicians and researchers can use newly developed
technologies to detect a wide variety of diseases of
the central and peripheral nervous system. With the
advent of improved diagnostic methods, computer
technology, microtechnology, and new, highly effec-
tive drugs, neurology is no longer merely contempla-
tive and has become a highly dynamic field. Many
symptomatic and, often, causally directed treatments
are now available for the treatment or even preven-
tion of neurologic disease.
Fundamentals of Neurology provides a window
onto the fascinating world of clinical neurology.
Although students sometimes find neurology bewil-
deringly complicated, it is in fact firmly based on
logic and the known correlations between clinical
phenomena and the sites of the lesions that cause
them. In the first few chapters of this book, the
emphasis lies on fundamentals, the clinical exami-
nation, topical diagnosis, and the differential diag-
nosis of neurologic manifestations and syndromes.
This knowledge equips the student to understand
the subsequent chapters, which concern diseases of
the central and peripheral nervous system. For most
patients, the history and physical examination will
point to the correct neurologic diagnosis. Targeted
ancillary testing can be used to verify, document, and
refine the presumptive diagnosis that has already
