Renowned authorities, all chosen for their expertise in their respective areas, present their own experiences and step-by-step guidelines on the current management and treatment of disorders affecting the nervous system. This book puts major emphasis on treatment, with diagnosis, epidemiology, and pathophysiology discussed only when they affect treatment strategies and decisions.Inclusive coverage allows you to treat the gamut of neurologic diseases effectively. A personal presentation format simulates the clinical experience of asking advice of a trusted colleague. Algorithms and patient resource information complement each chapter. Succinct therapeutic chapters are ideal study tools for the exams. All-new authors provide brand-new perspectives on therapies. This edition adds new general treatment categories, including plasmaphoresis, corticosteroid treatment, and IV IgG. A CD-ROM containing the complete previous edition enables you to access additional opinions.
