Clinical and Pathologic Features

چکیده
As the population ages, adult-onset neurodegenerative disorders will be encountered even more frequently by clinical neurologists. New treatments will continue to emerge as scientific understanding of the molecular genetic and pathophysiologic basis of these disorders evolves. Volume 8 of the Hospital Physician Neurology Board Review Manual will focus on the diagnosis and management of neurodegenerative disorders. Because many excellent comprehensive reviews of these topics have been written, the goal is to provide an outline for review of basic concepts and to stimulate critical thinking. This manual is devoted to a discussion of Parkinson’s disease. Future manuals in this volume will address parkinsonian syndromes, dementia, and neurodegenerative conditions of the peripheral nervous system and muscle.
