Neurology and Trauma cover

Disorders due to trauma to the head, spine, and peripheral nerves are among the most common seen by neurologists, neurosurgeons, and emergency physicians. This is the comprehensive definitive work on the subject, offering coverage on a wide range of clinical issues. There are comprehensive sections on head trauma, spinal trauma, plexus and peripheral nerve injuries, post-traumatic pain syndromes, sports and neurologic trauma, environmental trauma, posttraumatic sequelae and medicolegal aspects, and iatrogenic trauma. For the second edition, the editor has added 11 new chapters, and the existing chapters will be thoroughly revised and updated. Randolph Evans is a highly regarded neurologist and an excellent editor, ensuring effective coverage of all topics and a consistent manner of presentation.
