Download Free (EPUB, PDF)

This introductory text reflects a modern approach to neuropathology. Coverage includes molecular and cellular aspects of neuropathology as well as clinical material. Each section begins with a pathobiological overview, followed by specific details of the problems discussed. This approach permits a deeper understanding of neuropathology since it demonstrates the convergence of numerous diseases on a common set of pathophysiological mechanisms. Residents, fellows, and clinicians in pathology, neurology, and neurosurgery will find this book and its numerous algorithms helpful for general review and exam preparation.

When I first saw this book, I thought it was too simple to be useful. But, then I read it, and found it quite useful. It's a good book for a motivated medical student (bound for either neurology or pathology), or as a "starter" book for a resident. It's easy reading, and one should be able to finish it comfortably in a month's rotation. There are many tables, and he tends to highlight the board review type topics. Unfortunately, it is a bit too basic in many places (he's aimed at a fairly wide audience according to the preface), there are no review questions, and everything is in black and white (makes Marinesco bodies look quite a lot like Lewy bodies, for example). Nonetheless, it is a very good introduction for the novice neurology resident prepping for the NRITE (but I plan to acquire some larger books such as Scheithauer's Surgical Pathology of the Nervous System and Carpenter's Pathology of Skeletal Muscle to use as references). Certainly a good purchase and the best entry-level review book I have seen for the neurology resident (definitely will NOT be adequate for path residents, tho').

Amazingly enough a concise, clear AND entertaining book about neuropathology. The only minus: The pictures are black and white - but on the other hand by this we are trained to memorize structures, not colours. So for me as a resident in neurology, a very good match - not a textbook but I do not want to become a neuropathologist but a neurologist to begin with...

I liked this book. It is quite readable and has useful tables. Plus, it is a bargain compared to other neuropathology books. Unfortunately, the pictures are in B&W which makes the microscopic slides look a little bland and confusing. When you are told about the "red neuron," you want to see one that is actually RED!Some improvements that would make this book great:- color pictures- review questions- CD-ROM of pictures and/or questions
