Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neurologists learn from their patients, and this selection of 60 stroke cases will inform and challenge clinicians at all stages in their careers.

Selected references, frequently including the first description, are provided at the conclusion of each case. Drawing on the expertise of leading teachers and practitioners, and liberally illustrated, these case studies and the discussions that accompany them are an essential guide to learning the complexity of stroke diagnosis.

By the end of the century stroke care and research was among the most intensely active areas within all of medicine. This book is the story of that change and of one physician, Dr. C. Miller Fisher, a main architect and driver of that change"--

He also reviews the new clot-busting treatments, which have dramatically improved the recovery rate of stroke victims.
