"Anatomical localization skills based in physical examination are essential for any clinician caring for patients with neurologic disease processes. Localization in Clinical Neurology uses easy-to-read descriptions and full-color illustrations to help readers understand and locate the source of a patient's signs and symptoms. Each chapter topic is discussed in terms of basic anatomy, localization, and clinical features of relevant pathology"-- Provided by publisher.
