Introducing the theoretical and practical basics of veterinaryneuropathology, this concise and well illustrated book is anessential basic diagnostic guide for pathologists, neurologists anddiagnostic imaging specialists. It presents readers with strategiesto deal with neuropathological problems, showing how to interpretgross and histological lesions using a systematic approach based onpattern recognition.
It starts with an overview of the general principles ofneuroanatomy, neuropathological techniques, basic tissue reactionpatterns, and recognition of major lesion patterns. The bookgoes on to cover vascular diseases, inflammatory diseases, trauma,congenital malformations, metabolic-toxic diseases, neoplasia anddegenerative diseases mainly of the central nervous system. In therespective chapters pathologists can quickly find information tosupport their daily diagnostic workup for both small and largedomestic species. Based on the authors' extensivediagnostic and post graduate teaching experience as well as theinclusion of MRI as it relates to neuropathology, this book alsooffers a comprehensive but basic analysis of veterinaryneuropathology that neurologists and other MRI users will find veryuseful.

"In summary, this is an excellent, well-priced textbookthat will be invaluable to practitioners and particularly residentsin pathology and neurology training." (VeterinaryPathology, 1 January 2014)
"This book is not only written for specialists but it willhelp general practitioners understand better the various mechanismsof neurological diseases in many different species. The linkedwebsite presents RMI sequences and more neuropathologicalfindings." (Vets Today, 1 June 2013)
"Add color gross, histological and MRI images and you havea key reference any veterinary collection must have." (Midwest Book Reviews, 1 May 2013)
"Thus, 'Veterinary Neuropathology' byVandevelde, Higgins and Oevermann is an ideal aid for the visualapproach to structural lesions of the nervous system. If you are aneurophilic veterinarian, don't leave this book out of yourbookshelf unless it has been translocated already to your desk andis open in front of your eyes."
