Full Description
Eureka: Neurology & Neurosurgery 2e provides everything a student needs to succeed in the subject, prepare for their clinical placements and pass their exams.
The book starts with a First principles chapter which clearly explains key concepts and the mechanisms of neurology, from cells and signalling to the autonomic nervous system, and on to special senses.
The next chapter describes neurological history-taking and examination.
Subsequent chapters cover the major neurological presentations such as increased intracranial pressure, headache and facial pain, seizures and epilepsy, neurovascular disease, neurological tumours and infections, movement disorders, and, neurodegenerative disorders.
The book concludes with chapters on neurological emergencies and the integrated care of patients with neurological problems.
