Hardbound. Considerable editorial effort was invested to make this book a companion to volume 59 that reviews the disorders of the efferent limbs, because both deal with matters in a very rapidly developing field.

The reader of this volume will be struck by three marked differences with Vol. 21 of the original HCNseries. The first - awareness of the tremendous data-increment on adult-onset autosomal-dominant OPCA over the recent years led the editors to opt for a less-rigidly conceptualized and more realistic presentation of that topic, this presentation having two obvious merits: it stays close to clinical reality, and it leaves the field wide open for the ordering principle of molecular genetics to draw the definitive lines of the frame.

The second conspicuous difference is the neuropathy-classification chapter based on the work of the WFN Research Group, and an exhaustive ataxia differential diagnosis chapter.

The third and final differenc ... Read more
