Synopsis

This book presents the subject of veterinary neurology in a simplified and manageable format. Using a step-by-step method for problem solving, this text facilitates understanding by presenting the logic of the underlying process. Emphasis is placed on the learning of concepts rather than on memorization of the process. Also included are algorithms, charts and tables to assist in diagnosis and treatment. The book focuses on the more common diseases, but does include lighter coverage of some rare diseases. Features include case histories at the end of each chapter; guidelines for choosing diagnostic tests; an appendix listing disease with breeding predilection; new material and examples of newer imaging techniques including CT scans; an analysis of the neurologic examination including anatomy, physiology, and how to interpret abnormal responses; coverage of a greater number of diseases of the large animal; more detail on important diseases such as cauda equine syndrome, polyneuropathies, inherited diseases, trauma and metabolic disease; two new chapters on "Pain" and "Disorders of Involuntary Movement"; a new table of poisonous plants causing neurologic disease in large animals.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Handbook of Veterinary Neurology provides quick access to vital information on neurologic conditions in a wide range of species, including canine, feline, bovine, caprine, equine, ovine, and porcine. A problem-oriented approach makes it easy to diagnose and treat neurologic problems in small and large animals. 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. Within each chapter, discussions of neurologic disease include a review of the localization criteria and the diseases that can cause that problem, plus treatment and surgical techniques. Lead author Michael D. Lorenz brings decades of experience to neurologic assessment, using a diagnostic approach that requires minimal knowledge of neuroanatomy.
