Engaging, Case-Driven Guide Integrates Neuroanatomy with Clinical Practice for Students

Clinical Neuroanatomy: A Case-Based Approach by Douglas Gould and Gustavo Patino delivers nervous system anatomy through a clinically integrated lens, making it a perfect resource for medical students. Featuring 47 concise patient presentations, each case offers a step-by-step guide to lesion localization, linking neuroanatomy with clinical signs and symptoms. Every consistently structured case includes the patient’s complaint, relevant medical history, physical exam findings, symptom discussions, differential diagnoses, and potential diagnostic tests.

Key Highlights

High-yield, patient-centered vignettes encourage students to “locate the lesion” and suggest differential diagnoses
Illustrative images provide a clear review of relevant anatomy and affected pathways
A visually detailed appendix offers a quick reference for upper and lower motor neuron signs, central nervous system structures, and lesion locations
End-of-section questions sharpen students’ ability to apply neuroanatomy knowledge in clinical scenarios
This essential resource is ideal for medical students and clinicians aiming to master neuroanatomy for initial patient assessments. It also serves as a critical preparation tool for the USMLE® or other high-stakes exams covering neuroanatomy.
