Important note: Medicine is an ever-changing science undergoing continual development. Research and clinical experience are continually expanding our knowledge, in particular our knowledge of proper treatment and drug therapy. Insofar as this book mentions any dosage or application, readers may rest assured that the authors, editors, and publishers have made every effort to ensure that such references are in accordance with the state of knowledge at the time of production of the book.
Nevertheless, this does not involve, imply, or express any guarantee or responsibility on the part of the publishers in respect to any dosage instructions and forms of applications stated in the book. Every user is requested to examine carefully the manufacturers’ leaflets accompanying each drug and to check, if necessary in consultation with a physician or specialist, whether the dosage schedules mentioned therein or the contraindications stated by the manufacturers differ from the statements made in the present book. Such examination is particularly important with drugs that are either rarely used or have been newly released on the market. Every dosage schedule or every form of application used is entirely at the user’s own risk and responsibility. The authors and publishers request every user to report to the publishers any discrepancies or inaccuracies noticed.

Preface
This is the first complete revision of Duus’ textbook of topical diagnosis in neurology since the death of its original author, Professor Peter Duus, in 1994. As is well known, the intervening time has witnessed major developments, both in the clinical neurosciences and in basic research. In particular, modern imaging techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomography on the one hand, and the new molecular biological understanding of the development, plasticity, and pathology of the nervous system on the other, have brought about substantial progress in our knowledge in the field of neuroscience. Yet, despite all of the advances in ancillary diagnostic techniques, topical neurological diagnosis—the correct attribution of symptoms or syndromes to lesions at specific sites in the nervous system—remains today the primary task of the clinical neurologist.
In this entirely new, thoroughly revised edition of “Duus,” we have tried to preserve the remarkably effective didactic conception of the book while bringing it up to date. We have replaced older case studies based mainly on history by new ones more closely reflecting current practice, provided multicolored illustrations to ease and enhance comprehension, and added state-of-the-art neuroradiological images to demonstrate the correlation of structure and function in nervous system lesions. We have also newly color-coded the section headings to enable readers to distinguish at a glance between neuroanatomical (blue) and clinical (green) material, without having to disrupt the thematic continuity of the text.
Welcome changes in the undergraduate medical curriculum over the past two decades have vastly increased the exposure of medical students in the socalled “preclinical” years to clinical case material. To make the book more accessible to these students, we have written a new first chapter entitled “Elements of the Nervous System,” and we have also added a brief summary of basic concepts at the beginning of each of the other chapters.
The authors thank Georg Thieme Verlag and Dr. Kundmueller for their diligence and for many constructive discussions, as well as Mrs. Gay for her outstanding work on the illustrations.
We hope that this “new Duus,” like the earlier editions, will merit the appreciation of its audience, and we look forward to receiving readers’ comments in any form that they choose.
