Neurologists learn from their patients, and this selection of 60 stroke cases will inform and challenge clinicians at all stages in their careers. Including both common and unusual cases, the aim is to reinforce diagnostic skills through careful analysis of individual presenting patterns, and to guide treatment decisions. Each case consists of a clinical history, examination findings and special investigations, usually involving imaging before a diagnosis is given. There then follows for each case a discussion of the clinical issues raised by the case, in which the main teaching points are emphasized. Selected references, frequently including the first description, are provided at the conclusion of each case. Drawing on the expertise of leading teachers and practitioners, and liberally illustrated, these case studies and the discussions that accompany them are an essential guide to learning the complexity of stroke diagnosis.
Neuroimaging techniques are crucial in the management of stroke patients. This book is an important resource in the quest to better understand stroke and its heterogeneity. After a first chapter on the classification of stroke, it outlines that neuroimaging techniques are not only useful to diagnose stroke, its mechanisms, and its causes, but are also an important tool to improve our knowledge on the pathophysiology of stroke and of its recovery. This book has involved prestigious contributors who have a great knowledge on this topic, and are skilled at describing the current state of knowledge, and also at projecting developments that are likely to occur in the future. This book is useful for all those who have to manage stroke patients at the acute stage, or later, and for those who are in search of a focused, authoritative review on this subject. It will assume a prominent place as a reference.
Part of the Oxford Neurology Library, this pocketbook highlights the importance of stroke, its diagnosis, the problems of misdiagnosis, and current thoughts on its pathogenesis, acute treatment and rehabilitation as well as prevention.
The critically acclaimed Vascular Diagnosis of Ultrasound returns in a new two-volume second edition, offering the most comprehensive information available on the broad spectrum of vascular ultrasound applications. Volume 1:Cerebral and Peripheral Vessels retains the accessible design and structure of the first edition to discuss the available ultrasound technologies, including continuous and pulsed-wave Doppler mode, b-mode, and conventional and color-coded duplex analysis in frequency and amplitude power modes. This text covers anatomy, physiology, normal and abnormal findings, test accuracy and sensitivity, providing the reader with the information essential to managing common clinical situations. Highlights: Provides comprehensive coverage of vascular ultrasonography in the arteries and veins of the cerebral circulation and the peripheral upper and lower limb circulation Compares other diagnostic methods used in each region, such as conventional and noninvasive MR angiography Assesses recent developments in ultrasound technology, including tissue perfusion studies, 3D and 4D imaging, contrast enhancement and microbubble applications, and their diagnostic, technological, and therapeutic implications Features new challenging case studies for both the novice and the expert to review With contributions from experts in the field and more than 500 line drawings and images, this text is an indispensable reference for radiologists, vascular surgeons, and residents and students in these specialties.
