This thoroughly revised second edition features a collection of case studies of cerebrovascular disease. The cases are carefully selected to provide an insight into the different kinds of stroke syndromes from the common through to more rare presentations of cerebrovascular pathology. New topics covered include mechanical thrombectomy and advanced imaging techniques which have been developed and brought into clinical practice over the past five years. A range of diagnostically challenging cases are also discussed. Each case is worked through with a discussion on presentation, clinical features, examination, radiological findings and management. Key clinical and radiological learning points are highlighted assisting the reader to quickly extrapolate the most important information covered in each chapter.
Stroke Medicine: Case Studies from Queen Square is a detailed case-based resource based-upon the experiences of leading figures in the field. Therefore, itis ideal for use by both medical students and physicians in all stages of training from foundation years through to consultancy who wish to learn more about this subject.
