"This Third Edition not only updates all the chapters of the previous edition but introduces two new ones: Neurorehabilitation and Common Medicolegal Issues in Neurology. Both chapters are timely. Rehabilitation is gaining increasing recognition and new status, as knowledge about the remarkable plasticity of the injured brain grows. Medicolegal issues reflect twin trends: greater awareness ofpatients rights, and a growing tendency to seek financial redress to unfortunate outcomes.
This book is suitable for a broad readership. For those sophisticated in neurology, it offers a systematic approach and reminder. Those who are less knowledgeable and confident in diagnosing and managing disorders of the nervous system will find stepwise, pragmatic advice on how to proceed. This book addresses effectively the gap between knowledge and practice." - Professor Vladmir Hachinski, University of Western Ontario
