Most of the book comprises chapters that explain the major neuroanatomical systems. Each chapter first presents background material including an overview of relevant neuroanatomical structures and pathways, and a brief discussion of related clinical disorders. The second half of each chapter is devoted to clinical cases. The cases begin with a narrative of how the patient developed symptoms, and what deficits were found upon neurological examination. Boldface type highlights important symptoms and signs. A series of questions challenges the reader to deduce the neuroanatomical location of the patient's lesion, and the diagnosis. Discussion and answers follow, and an epilogue reveals the actual outcome.

One of the book's most innovative features is the inclusion of CT and MRI scans that depict each patient's lesion. These radiographs help the reader develop skills in interpreting the same kinds of diagnostic images employed in clinical practice.

The book is intended primarily for first- or second-year medical students enrolled in a basic neuroanatomy, neurobiology or neuroscience course. It is also a valuable resource for advanced medical students and residents, as well as students of other health professions, notably physical therapy, occupational therapy, nursing, dentistry, speech therapy, and neuropsychology.

A must have for any neurology resident	Customer Rating:
An outstanding, clearly presented, easy-to-read text that any neurology resident or medical student interested in neurology will find useful. As a bonus, you get access to online videos that demonstrate the complete neurological examination. I passed my boards easily with this text as one of my key study resources. I couldn't recommend this book more highly.

clear and useful	Customer Rating:
I'm a first year neurology resident and the book is really helpful in the daily clinical problems, being a fast way of reviewing neuroanatomy. I also got very satisfied with the delivery service: it arrived in Brazil in 14 days in excelent conditions!

Excellent book!!!

Customer Rating:

I'm a medical student, and our chief resident for neurology at MGH told us to get this book. It is fabulous, and I'm so thankful that he told us to use this book. Neuroanatomy Through Clinical Cases is clear, concise, well-organized, and clinically useful. It is obvious that a lot of time has gone into editing this book. Each chapter has 20-40 pages of information, and then 20-40 pages of clinical cases. On top of it all, this is a fun read and the information will stick with you.

Excellent Neuroanatomy studying book	Customer Rating:
This book provides a comprehensive and easy-to-read approach to neuroanatomy and it was very helpful for me as a first year neurology resident. I recommend it for all those who need a first general and concise approach to neuroanatomy in the clinical setting.

Excellent Review of Neuroanatomy

Customer Rating:

For doctors looking to improve their clinical skills in neurology, this is the book. Infact, this is the book that I wish I had in medical school. I like the clinical orientation. The neuro exam is related to anatomic structures multiple times, from different angles. For instance, when reviewing neuroanatomy, the anatomy is presented and then a comment about resulting deficits from damage to this area and a brief comment on the aproach to testing. Then during the neuro exam the test is illucidated and comments refer back to anatomic structures and deficits. During clinical exams you get to refine and practice what you have learned elsewhere. In the world of MRI and CT I have enjoyed relating what I learn in each section to my patients. While certainly not necessary to fulfill my job, I feel more confident as we move into the age of stroke tPA and embolectomy that I will be ready when one of my patients suffers a bleed while in house.
