The book is a comprehensive text on CNS pathology. It discusses the most up-to-date methods employed by pathologists to diagnose illnesses affecting the brain, meninges, and spinal cord. In the chapter on tumors, Dr Zamecnik's special emphasis is on CNS-related soft tissue tumors. Exhaustive lists of all potential soft tissues are covered in full. Dr Zamecnik highlights potential errors of misclassification. The chapter on Epilepsy is divided into two parts: temporal lobe epilepsy and malformative lesions, which include focal cortical dysplasia, tuberous sclerosis and hemimegalencephaly.
Nervous System is an authoritative text in atlas-format aimed at pathologists and radiographers, with many neuroimages examples provided. The volume provides thorough neuroanatomical and neurohistological background for each pathology. The text emphasises current, accurate, standard, and descriptive terminology with particular emphasis on neoplasias. Illustrating the multitude of diagnostic techniques required in neuropathology, Nervous System offers a thorough description of pathological modalities employed in diagnoses diseases of the CNS.
