Description: This Neuro Handbook is a comprehensive guide, useful for medical students and health professionals who require a practical and complete reference on the nervous system and its neurological disorders. It addresses the basic fundamentals of the anatomy, physiology and embryology of the central nervous system. In addition, it provides a succinct description of neuroimaging and semiology techniques for the accurate diagnosis of neurological diseases. Infectious diseases of the central nervous system, such as meningitis and encephalitis, as well as the main causes of ischemic stroke and subarachnoid hemorrhage are also explained. Similarly, tumors of the central nervous system are described in detail, with information on their diagnosis, treatment and prognosis. Next, the book discusses cranioencephalic and spinal trauma, as well as convulsive syndrome and neurological care of the ICU patient. Finally, the book explores brain death and its importance in organ donation. This comprehensive, detailed and practical work has become a reference on neurology.
