Features: The anatomical structure and physiological functions of the nervous system are highly complex, and the harm caused by its lesions is significant. Therefore, making an early and clear localization diagnosis of diseases in this system is a crucial step for effective treatment. However, localization diagnosis of neurological diseases not only requires a solid theoretical foundation in disciplines such as neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, neuropathology, and neurochemical transmission, but also demands proficiency in new experimental diagnostic techniques. In recent years, with the rapid development of imaging technologies such as CT, MRI, DSA, SPECT, and PET, making localization diagnoses of neurological diseases through neurofunctional examinations has become increasingly feasible. However, this requires neurologists to not only master the fundamental knowledge of the relationship between the internal structure and function of the nervous system but also to be very familiar with the symptoms and signs of various neurological diseases.
Based on years of clinical experience and referencing domestic and international new research findings, the author comprehensively and systematically elaborates on localization diagnostic methods for neurological diseases, including physical examinations, imaging studies, neurophysiological examinations, and ultrasonic examinations. Detailed anatomical features, physiological functions, and common clinical manifestations of common diseases, syndromes, examination methods, and localization diagnoses for the cerebral hemispheres, basal ganglia and extrapyramidal system, pineal region, cranial nerves, spinal cord, spinal nerves, and autonomic nervous system are thoroughly discussed.
This book is richly illustrated, features up-to-date content, advanced techniques, and strong practicality. It serves as an important specialized work in neurosciences, making it a valuable reference for clinical practitioners and basic researchers in neurology and neurosurgery. It is also a highly useful reference for doctors, researchers, and medical students in related clinical disciplines.
