Pages:760
Product type:Book
Netter’s Neurology, 2nd Edition, by Drs. H. Royden Jones, Jayashri Srinivasan, Gregory J. Allam, and Richard A. Baker uses visually rich Netter artwork to efficiently provide you with a concise overview of general neurology and its intersection with ophthalmology, psychiatry, and orthopedics. You'll rapidly access complete introductions to clinical details, complex concepts, and correlations between anatomical, pathological, physiological, and pharmacological aspects in the clinical settings. Netter - it's how you know.
New to this edition
* See the latest developments in the field in clear detail with new artwork and new entries on ALS, Eastern Equine Encephalitis, African Sleeping Sickness, and more.
* Effectively visualize the underlying anatomy in living patients through upgraded neuroimaging coverage, including MR, CT, and PET.
* Tap into additional treatment information with more clinical vignettes that provide "real-life" illustrative case evaluations.

REVIEW (JAMA, January 18, 2012—Vol 307, No. 3)
THE CAREFULLY EDITED NETTER’S NEUROLOGY COVERS THE
major topics in clinical neurology. Now in its second edition,
it continues the tradition of Frank Netter‘s Nervous
System Atlas. That atlas, like many other works by Netter,
was centered on the use of his beautiful medical illustrations
to create a unique kind of visual imagery to help
readers understand complex topics in medicine.
H. Royden Jones Jr, the principal editor of Netter’s Neurology,
consulted Netter on how to illustrate clinical neurology.
In the second edition, Jones and coeditors Jayashri
Srinivasan, Gregory J. Allam, and Richard A. Baker use original
Netter drawings and many more illustrations by medical
artists Carlos Machado, John Craig, James A. Perkins,
and Anita Impagliazzo to deliver a broad overview of modern
neurology. In 768 pages as well as via online content,
the book covers neurologic evaluation, headache, movement
disorders, neuroimmunology, cerebrovascular disorders,
neuro-oncology, infectious diseases of the nervous system,
spinal cord disorders, trauma, and peripheral and
muscular neurology; it also provides a concise overview of
psychiatry.
As an example of the approach taken, the section on
spinal cord disorders discusses acute and chronic
myelopathies, including rare etiologies such as copper
deficiency myelopathy, after providing a detailed description
of spinal neuroanatomy as well as vascular and skeletal
anatomy. The anatomy chapter contains many of
Netter’s original illustrations, which provide great detail
and allow the reader to proceed without needing to consult
a separate anatomy atlas. The visuals illustrate not
only anatomy but also pathophysiology, clinical findings,
and therapeutic interventions. Many examples from
medical imaging (computed tomography, magnetic resonance
imaging, angiography) and neuropathology
complement the drawings.
“Clinical Vignettes“ present exemplary patient histories.
“Evidence“ sections list and present a few key original publications
or reviews that support what has been postulated
in the text. “Future Directions” paragraphs provide the authors’
opinions on the possible evolution of this medical specialty.
The book contains a comprehensive index and ultimately
is a product of 51 contributing authors, most
practicing at Lahey Clinic in Burlington, Massachusetts, as
well as other institutions in the United States and internationally.
The book competes with many other clinical neurology
textbooks, but its art certainly makes it unique. Visual
thinkers will especially enjoy reading the text and will
benefit most from the illustrations. Comprehension of
complex neuropathophysiology (eg, a tumor compressing
the spinal cord), neurological symptomatology (eg, the
dystonic posture), and therapeutic interventions (eg,
carotid endarterectomy) is greatly facilitated by the figures.
In many cases, facts to remember are flagged using
symbolic drawings, such as a man holding his head to
represent headache. This of course does not facilitate
understanding the issue but will help readers to remember
key points. Many clinical findings, however, require
illustration using video. Although this is impossible in a
printed book, video clips could have been provided with
the online version. Apart from this shortcoming, the
online version (accessed using a code provided in the
book) is somewhat cumbersome and difficult to navigate
and does not make adequate use of modern media technology.
Netter’s Neurology is a perfect book for the interested medical
student or neurology resident. The practicing neurologist
will, however, require more in-depth information that
cannot be provided in a single book. Yet compared with similar
works, such as the Atlas of Clinical Neurology (Saunders/
Elsevier, 2011), the text and illustrations are balanced to
better optimize comprehension while providing a broad overview
of the field. Netter’s Neurology can be recommended
without hesitation.
