This large reference work and specialist textbook on clinical neurology is now available in a new, expanded and revised edition prepared by the internationally renowned editors, with contributions from more than 150 specialists. In tried and tested fashion, recent findings on the clinical picture and on the course and treatment in neurological diseases are summed up systematically and assessed for their pragmatic applicability – not only for frequent conditions such as cerebral stroke, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease, but also for rare and complex clinical pictures. With additional chapters on neuropaediatrics and neurogeriatrics, as well as the thematic revision of individual articles – e.g., on tinnitus, sleep disturbances, vascular malformations and neurocutaneous symptoms – the seventh edition has a great deal of new information to offer. This established work – founded by the editors Brandt/Dichgans/Diener – follows on from the successes of the previous editions and is indispensable for the everyday work of specialists and general practitioners in hospitals and private practice, as well as for successful training and further training.
