Atlas of neuromuscular diseases

"The atlas is a comprehensive outline of neuromuscular diseases, written by American and European neurologists. It discusses all aspects of neuromuscular disorders including cranial neuropathies, motor neuron diseases, plexopathies, mononeuropathies, entrapment syndromes, polyneuropathies, disorders of the neuromuscular junction, and muscle diseases." "The chapters are uniformly structured into anatomy, symptoms, signs, pathogenesis, diagnosis and differential diagnosis, therapy, and prognosis. Each chapter provides an outline of the diagnostic tools available to the practitioner and a practical approach on how to advance from signs and symptoms to syndromes. Therapeutic options are described for each disease." "The atlas contains a large number of clinical and histologic pictures from the authors' own clinical practice and also a number of artist's drawings to facilitate the understanding of anatomic structures. The book is intended for neurologists, orthopedists, general practitioners, and other physicians interested in neuromuscular diseases."--Jacket.
