This title in the Foundations of Neuropathology Series packs all of the field's essentials into one value-priced volume. A templated, full-colour design and a multitude of tables make it the perfect way to review all of the most important aspects of neuropathology. For each entity, the authors examine clinical features, pathologic features (gross and microscopic), ancillary studies, differential diagnosis, and prognostic and therapeutic considerations. Full-colour illustrations demonstrate the nuances of a full range of findings.
