Handbook of Veterinary Neurology - Grand Format

This quick reference provides vital information on neurologic conditions in a wide range of species, including canine, feline, bovine, caprine, equine, ovine, and porcine. The coverage of disorders by problem, not by established disease diagnosis, emulates how animals present to the veterinary hospital and simplifies the formulation of a correct diagnosis. This book offers a diagnostic approach that requires minimal knowledge of neuroanatomy, and also describes treatment and surgical techniques.
OUTSTANDING FEATURES : A problem-based approach with organization by presenting sign rather than by condition, guiding you to logical conclusions regarding diagnosis and treatment. Algorithms diagram the logic necessary to localize lesions and to formulate diagnostic plans. Coverage of current diagnostic techniques includes the use of diagnostic tools such as radiology, spinal fluid analysis, electrodiagnosis, and MR imaging.
A consistent format for each case history includes signalmen, history, physical examination findings, and neurologic examination. A comprehensive appendix describes species and breeds that have a congenital predisposition for particular neurologic diseases. The companion website includes 20 narrated video clips with accompanying PowerPoint slides that correlate to the case histories in the book The videos cover neurologic assessment of clinical problems such as paresis of one limb, tetmparesis, stupor, seizures, ataxia of the head and limbs, and canal nerve disorders.
