A practical text for practitioners of general neurology, encompassing most of the problems confronting clinicians seeing outpatients with neurological problems. The volume contains 230 contributed chapters arranged in nine parts: principles of ambulatory neurology and the approach to clinical problems; cerebrovascular disease; immune and infectious disease; spinal cord and peripheral neuromuscular disease; movement disorders; behavioral neurology and epilepsy; neuro-oncology; neurology in general medicine; and headache and pain. In the interest of the focus on office practice, the results of clinical science are included only insofar as they further the discussion of clinical topics. Illustrated in b&w throughout, with a six-page section of color plates. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
