Hankey's Clinical Neurology, Second Edition is fully updated to accommodate the latest advancements in clinical neuroscience. Designed for students of clinical neurology, neurologists-in-training, and practicing neurologists who need ready access to a comprehensive, evidence-based guide to new and notable neurologic disorders, the Second Edition:

• Contains a chapter solely dedicated to sleep disorders


• Introduces a section on neuro-ophthalmology within the cranial neuropathies chapter


• Reflects a more global approach, as each chapter is written by an international expert in the field


• Delivers expanded coverage of degenerative diseases of the nervous system, with sections on dementias, Parkinson’s disease and Parkinsonian syndromes, and hereditary ataxias


• Includes 440+ all-new, high-quality illustrations ranging from anatomical drawings to clinical photographs and pathology specimens, with many images taken with permission from the authors’ own patients
