Features: This book is divided into two parts, aiming to start from clinical practice and strive for a comprehensive approach from multiple angles, levels, and perspectives, emphasizing practicality. The first part is on syndromeology, which provides a detailed introduction to the etiology, clinical symptoms, signs, and diagnostic approaches of common neurological syndromes. The second part is on diseaseology, which references relevant domestic and international monographs and journal articles, elaborating on common and frequently occurring neurological diseases from anatomical, physiological, immunological, pathological, imaging, experimental techniques, therapeutic, and preventive aspects. It also considers rare and challenging diseases, supplemented with new concepts such as the 2004 International Headache Society's new classification and diagnostic criteria for headaches, as well as new concepts and diagnostic steps for epilepsy. This book also describes research progress on leukoencephalopathy, mild cognitive impairment, stroke in young people, cerebral venous system thrombosis, and thrombolytic therapy for acute cerebral infarction, aiming to provide readers with a comprehensive understanding of common neurological conditions and offer strong support in clinical practice. This book is suitable for neurology and neurosurgery doctors, other related clinical doctors, senior medical students, and grassroots medical personnel for learning and reference.
