Cranial Nerves for Medical Students: with clinical correlations

Product Description

This is a unique book. Written by a professor of Medicine who spent years teaching medical anatomy in the laboratory as well the lecture hall of USA medical schools, this book teaches you the cranial nerves in three dimensional space. It lays out the path of a nerve in fine detail and takes you for a walk along its route; necessary knowledge for a physician. You need to know the cranial nerves in three dimensional space; knowing the cranial nerves in lists, tables and mnemonics is useless for practicing physicians. An additional unique feature of this book is the connections it makes to neuroanatomy which is traditionally taught in the second semester to first-year medical students in the USA. Medical students, physicians, especially neurosurgeons and radiologists, will find the detailed tracing of cranial nerves in the cranium useful.
