The perennial neurology classic, updated and expandedThe sixth edition of Duus' classic Topical Diagnosis in Neurology builds on the clear, integrated presentation of anatomy, function, and disorders of the central nervous system that made it a success for almost over five decades, serving as a quick reference for practitioners and trainees alike. It elucidates the neuroanatomical pathways that lead to specific clinical syndromes, and demonstrates how comprehensive anatomical knowledge combined with a thorough neurological examination can help localize and categorize a lesion and arrive at a differential diagnosis.The time-tested logical, thematic structure with useful summaries, at the beginning of each chapter, and color-coded section headings enable readers to distinguish neuroanatomical from clinical material at a glance and enable efficient and time saving study.Features of the sixth edition:New tables and clinical case examplesImproved descriptions of neuroanatomical/neurophysiological basics in the context of clinical symptomsTwenty-three new illustrations, to a total of more than 400 illustrationsA wide range of study aids and clinical correlations that support the emphasis on integrative medicine in the current medical school curriculaTopical Diagnosis in Neurology is an ideal reference for neurologists and neuroscientists who correlate neurological diseases with anatomical location to arrive at a diagnosis or understand a clinical syndrome. It is also an essential tool for trainees and advanced students who need a solid grounding in key neurofunctional relationships.This book includes complimentary access to a digital copy on https://medone.thieme.com.

Temporal bone anatomy is arguably the most complex anatomy in the human body. The proximity of vital neural and vascular structures, the intricate three-dimensional relationships involved, and the manner in which these structures are encased in a labyrinth of bony canals pose a major challenge to the preparation for and performance of surgery. It follows that specialized anatomy teaching courses are indispensable, and these are most effective when executed with the help of dissections on cadaver preparations.Mario Sanna''s Temporal Bone is a guide to the dissection courses that the author himself would have sought to have while he was receiving training—as such, creating it has been a "dream come true" for the author. The manual is designed to complement and reinforce the experiences of course participants, comprehensively covering the normal and surgical anatomy of the temporal bone and all aspects of basic and advanced otologic and neurootologic surgery.Key Features:The surgical anatomy is shown with the help of specially prepared cadaveric dissectionsThe approaches/techniques in these dissections are described step-by-stepFor every approach/technique, the surgical anatomy, indications, surgical steps, and hints and pitfalls are describedThe Temporal Bone effectively transmits Mario Sanna''s passionate dedication in otologic teaching and training to excellence. Residents and fellows should definitely find it indispensable.

Gain confidence in acquiring basic manual skills for brain tumor surgery...In training to become a neurosurgeon, many of the crucial manual skills that must be acquired can only be mastered through growing experience during the rigorous and lengthy training process.
