White Matter Diseases

This essential resource, White Matter Diseases, explores the latest insights into the diagnosis and treatment of white matter disorders in the central nervous system.

The book White Matter Diseases delivers comprehensive insights into the epidemiology, etiopathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnostic procedures, and treatment strategies for various white matter (WM) disorders affecting the central nervous system (CNS). With a focus on the latest research, it highlights how WM lesions are often linked to numerous neurological conditions and the aging process, emphasizing the importance of understanding these associations for effective management.

In recent years, the diagnostic approach to neurological diseases characterized by WM lesions has evolved significantly. This transformation has been driven by the identification of specific pathogenetic factors in certain conditions and the enhanced utilization of advanced diagnostic tools. As a result, new diagnostic algorithms have emerged, along with the recognition of previously unidentified neurological disorders. The book provides essential information on these developments, ensuring that healthcare professionals are well-equipped to navigate the complexities of WM diseases.

White Matter Diseases serves as a vital resource for neurologists, offering practical guidance for the diagnosis and treatment of common WM conditions. By merging neurological, laboratory, and imaging insights, this reference guide facilitates accurate diagnosis and cost-effective management. It presents a state-of-the-art overview of current knowledge and practical recommendations, making it an indispensable tool for those working in the field of neurology.
