Riassunto

Widely known and well-respected, The Little Black Book of Neurology has, through four successful editions, represented a thorough yet portable reference on this complex field, presenting definitions, classifications, and guidance on diagnosis and management for a wide range of neurological disorders. The 5th Edition offers updated and expanded coverage of neuropharmacology and neuroimaging - plus a new, more user-friendly, fast-access format that makes the book even more ideal for quick clinical consultation or as a refresher for the Boards.

• Presents a comprehensive, yet concise, "all-in-one” introduction to neurology in a portable, practical format.

• Presents information in a newly structured format that makes reference faster and easier than ever.
• Enables you to access critical guidance at a glance with many new tables of differential diagnosis, patient evaluation, and treatment options.
• Covers many new topics including significantly expanded sections on sleep, neuromuscular disorders, and critical care.
• Includes four new appendices - Neurocritical Emergencies . Therapeutic Care . AAN Guideline Summaries . and Scales - highlighting evidence-based guidelines when available, enabling you to make more informed clinical judgments.
• Offers updated and expanded coverage of neuropharmacology and neuroimaging.
