This comprehensive, new textbook on clinical neurology follows the 3-step process that neurologists employ when treating patients. It sequentially covers (1) the neuroanatomic diagnosis, which is established by the neurologic examination, (2) the laboratory database created through selection of diagnostic tests, and (3) patient testing, and then ends with etiologic diagnosis and treatment for the full range of neurologic disorders. Drs. Goetz and Pappert have carefully reviewed the entire text to ensure a homogenous and fully integrated presentation that allows the reader to move from one step to the next.
