Sommario/riassunto

This text focuses not only on localized diseases caused by infectious diseases, trauma, tumours, and vascular lesions within the central nervous system, but also these diseases within the systems of the brain and spinal cord. Over 250 real cases with associated MRI or CTs and any pathological findings from these patients illustrate numerous disorders and fully explain the nature of the pathology.
