Summary
"In Diagnostic Criteria in Neurology, Alan J. Lerner, MD, seeks to codify the diagnostic process by compiling sets of previously published diagnostic criteria for a diverse group of neurological conditions. The criteria derived from the best currently available medical sources and reflect the great variety of possible standards that have been proposed. They cover a wide spectrum of neurological conditions whose diagnosis does not depend solely on histopathology (e.g. brain tumors), including cerebrovascular diseases, dementias and behavioral disorders, demyelinating disorders, and disorders of consciousness and brain death. Standardized criteria are also provided for epilepsy, genetic syndromes, headache, immune-based disorders, infectious diseases, movement disorders, neuromuscular disorders, and sleep disorders. An array of tables summarizes useful information on both common and uncommon neurological conditions, including many genetic and pediatric neurological disorders."--BOOK JACKET.
