About this book
As scientific research continues to expand the scope of Neuropathology, the amount of information that both students and practicing pathologists must assimilate and master can be challenging, and at times even daunting. The previous editions of this book summarized the essentials of neuropathology with the goal of providing an overview of neuropathology and to provide a framework for preparing for in-service and board examinations. This third edition summarizes the essentials of neuropathology in outline form. The objectives are twofold: 1) to provide an overview of neuropathology for those initially encountering the discipline and, 2) to provide a framework for review for those preparing for in-service and board examinations in the disciplines of neurology, neurosurgery, and pathology, which require some knowledge of neuropathology. The book provides an update of the essential elements of the neuropathology curriculum for all those seeking a concise, up-to-date overview of the subject. Topics range from basic information on the spectrum of neurologic-related disease to pertinent pictorial examples of many neuropathologic conditions
The first part presents basic information on the spectrum of neurologic-related disease (Chapters 1-11). A set of self-assessment questions, some of which include key images for review, are included at the end of each chapter. These are designed to aid with comprehension and understanding of the material. The second part (Chapters 12 and 13) present pertinent pictorial examples of a spectrum of neuropathologic conditions in a question format with answers and brief explanations provided.
Concise yet comprehensive, Neuropathology Review 3rd Edition provides an easy-to-use refresher course for those working pathologists, neurologists and neurosurgeons wishing to update their skills and knowledge.
