Description
The translation of this compendium into English will make the monograph popular because of its tremendous teaching value to the medical student. It is clearly and concisely written and its pages are full of practical points on cerebrospinal localization. The compendium has been increased from 200 to 275 pages with many new and more accurate ideas of localization which have been worked out in the past several years. There are two parts to the monograph: localization of spinal cord lesions and localization of cerebral lesions. In the first part there is a discussion of spinal cord lesions both in the transverse and in the longitudinal plane. This is an excellent departure from the usual book, which attempts to teach memorization of symptoms of disease entities instead of teaching certain fundamental signs and symptoms and then interpretation.
