The thoroughly updated 2nd Edition of this user-friendly resource uses over 1200 carefully selected cases to examine the entire spectrum of CNS diseases of the head and spine. Over 1350 illustrations of neuropathology depict both typical and unusual appearances. Hundreds of cross references link the cases to each other to highlight similarities, distinctions, and variations among conditions. Consistent labeling of images on each page enable quick scanning of individual topics.
