Stroke Syndromes (Second Edition) and Uncommon Causes of Stroke 2 Volume Hardback Set
Out of Print
The first edition of Stroke Syndromes was widely welcomed as a new and authoritative reference in the assessment and diagnosis of stroke. The revised and updated edition remains the definitive guide to patterns and syndromes in stroke, while its companion volume, Uncommon Causes of Stroke, provides in-depth descriptions of many rare and relatively uncommon causes of stroke. Both books emphasise pattern recognition in the location and diagnosis of stroke, offering a comprehensive survey of all types of neurological, neurophysiological and other clinical dysfunction due to stroke. They contain descriptions of clinical problems encountered in stroke patients and their differential diagnosis, and will enable clinicians to differentiate between possible locations on the basis of symptoms and signs. For all neurologists, neurosurgeons, neuroradiologists and vascular surgeons, these books are a unique scientific and clinical resource.
- Fully revised and updated edition of the definitive guide to stroke syndromes and the only comprehensive reference and guide to rare and unusual causes of stroke
Reviews & endorsements
'Both volumes are essential reference texts for anybody with a clinical interest in stroke, and for any neurologist who wishes to have a detailed understanding of the most common brain disorder … an important contribution to descriptive neurology … a distillation of the knowledge and clinical experience of a significant proportion of the world's leading stroke physicians … the most comprehensive and authoritative texts available on the clinical manifestations of stroke and unusual causes of stroke. They are a pleasure to read simply for interest, but will also be invaluable aids to clinical practice, and are likely to be the standard reference texts on these subjects for many years.' Peter Rothwell, Brain

Review of the first edition: 'Fills an important niche, and I will surely pull it from my shelf again and again to guide my thinking about difficult patients with stroke.' Vascular Medicine
'The texts will be welcome by clinical neurologists who are comforted by an office bookcase full of reference and speciality texts, who would rather thumb to a cohesive summary rather than perform a Medline search. … They can also readily be appreciated at any level of medical experience. … Uncommon Causes offers useful topics for vascular surgeons and many medical subspeciality physicians.' Annuals of Neurology
