Focal Peripheral Neuropathies - 8082

The thoroughly revised Second Edition of this acclaimed work provides complete, current information on the sites, causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and management of focal lesions of all peripheral nerves of the body. This new edition shows how MRI and other imaging techniques, new electrodiagnostic testing methods, intraoperative electrophysiological recordings, and improved knowledge of anatomy permit more accurate diagnosis of these lesions. Close attention is also given to current views on the significance of focal neuropathies as occupational disorders and the role of nerve damage in causing overuse and repetitive strain syndromes. The first four chapters review the gross anatomy and microscopic structure of peripheral nerves, the physiological sequelae of various types and degrees of nerve damage, the abnormalities found in electrodiagnostic tests, and the workup of the patient with a focal neuropathy. The next twenty chapters describe the courses and anatomical relations of individual peripheral nerves, identify the types and sites of lesions, and discuss the investigation and management of these specific focal neuropathies.
