Synopsis

Published as a companion to the second edition of Stroke Syndromes, this comprehensive reference provides in-depth descriptions of many rare and relatively uncommon causes of stroke. Together with Stroke Syndromes, it emphasizes pattern recognition in the location and diagnosis of stroke. The authoritative text describes various forms of angiitis, coagulation disorders, and infective, paraneoplastic and metabolic disorders that may be associated with stroke, and a number of individually rare syndromes such as Eales disease, Fabry disease, and pseudoxanthoma elasticum. It is an essential resource to help physicians diagnose and treat stroke patients who do not fit well into the usual clinical categories.
