Summary

International Neurology: A Clinical Approach is the first international book focusing on the difference in neurological presentations in the East and West. It deals with the differences in etiology, genetics, age of onset, and clinical presentations of neurological disease in the developed and developing countries. Consisting of seventeen chapters with contributions from experts in many countries, it serves as a unique and invaluable guide for physicians to expand their knowledge of different neurological disorders in both western and eastern countries.
