Produktbeschreibung

Infammatory diseases of the brain are caused by many diferent etiologies and come in various disguises; sometimes the diagnosis is straightforward, most of the time it is not. In fact, the di- nosis and diferential diagnosis of infammatory diseases of the brain ofen are very confusing. Tere is a wide variety of causative agents and infammatory pathways ranging from bacteria, fungi, parasites, viruses, prions, and toxins to autoimmune diseases. Infammatory diseases of the brain can mimic many other intracranial pathoentities, e.g., they can be tumefactive, disguised as meningiosis or intracranial hypotension, and sometimes can even be difcult to separate from infarctions, let alone telling them apart from each other. Fortunately, the (neuro-)radiologist's arsenal of weapons has grown over the years, especially with the advent of new MR techniques, e.g., difusion- and perfusion-weighted imaging and MR spectroscopy, and other sophisticated methods of MR examination have added to the diagnostic options of the radiologist. Stefan Hähnel and his team of coauthors extensively cover the variety of infammatory d- eases of the brain in child- and adulthood. A standardized approach is used throughout the book, which deals with epidemiology, clinical presentation, therapy, imaging, and diferential diagnosis in each chapter. Emphasis is also placed on how the "new" MR techniques can be used in the - agnosis and diferential diagnosis of infammatory diseases of the brain. As building up a "mental library" of engrams is very important in the diferential diagnosis, the book is richly illustrated.
