Description
Forensic Neuropathology provides superior visual examples of the more commonly encountered conditions in forensic neuropathology
and answers questions that arise regarding neuropathological findings. The work includes values for frequently-encountered clinical
assessments, and contains a more comprehensive summary of aging/dating of various neuropathological processes than is available in any
other single current source. General pathology residents, forensic pathology and neuropathology fellows, and general pathologists and
clinicians involved in referred cases will find this book extremely useful, as will individuals in allied fields such as law enforcement
officers and attorneys.
Forensic Neuropathology aims to: (1) provide a concise summary of practical information frequently
needed in forensic neuropathology cases; (2) include selected material previously known but perhaps not significantly emphasized in current
literature; and (3) where possible, to suggest aging/dating parameters for certain neuropathological findings relevant to forensic neuropathology
testimony. As a selective reference, the volume emphasizes practical issues and focuses on the most commonly encountered issues among
neuropathology and medical examiner professionals.
Audience
Medical examiners (forensic pathologists) who conduct medicolegal autopsies; neuropathology consultants to medical examiners offices;
neuropathologists in private and academic practice; expert witnesses and attorneys whose practice includes neurological,
neurosurgical
or neuropathological questions.
Pathologists in private and in academic practice, and neurologists and neurosurgeons in academic
and
private practice and in training, especially those whose work includes expert witness
activities.
