A concise, high-yield review for building your expertise on the mechanisms of neurological disease
Packed with 600 photos and illustrations, Neuropathology Boot Camp explains the pathologic basis of neurologic disease, clinical manifestations, and potential mechanisms of treatment. It delivers the information and insights you need to make accurate diagnoses on the pathology of the brain, spinal cord, meninges, peripheral nerves, and muscles, typically through biopsies for brain tumors, infectious/inflammatory diseases, nerve/muscle diseases, dementias, and cerebrovascular disease.
You’ll come away with a solid understanding of gross anatomy and histology of the nervous system; the correlation between neuropathological lesions and neuroradiological imaging; the correlation between neuropathological lesions and clinical signs and symptoms; indications for (and limitations of) tissue biopsies of the brain, muscle, and nerve; and the relevance of autopsy in patient care.
