Localization in Clinical Neurology (6th edition)

Book Preface

This new edition of Localization in Clinical Neurology is again written for “frontline” clinicians who care for patients with neurologic disease processes and who are confronted with the “Where is it?” of neurologic disorders. This edition contains much updated information, some new charts on the differential diagnosis of clinical entities, and upgraded images to aid in neurologic localization, in addition to a new chapter on the localization of lesions of the autonomic nervous system. We hope that this volume may help in the clinician’s quest to diagnose patients with neurologic problems with greater accuracy and the least cost.

Dr. Brazis especially expresses his appreciation to his colleagues at the Mayo Clinics in Jacksonville, Scottsdale, and Rochester and expresses his gratitude to his teachers and friends: Drs. Neil Miller, Andrew G. Lee, Frank A. Rubino, Jonathan D. Trobe, James J. Corbett, James Bolling, and Michael Stewart.

Dr. Masdeu acknowledges the help of many colleagues and friends, too many to be mentioned by name, particularly at the New York Medical College, the Medical School of the University of Navarra, and the Section on Integrative Neuroimaging at the National Institutes of Health.

Dr. Biller is indebted to his colleagues at Loyola University Chicago, and foremost to his wife, Rhonda, his children, stepchildren, and his grandson, Selim, for their constant encouragement and unfailing patience.
