Title Reviews
"The book covers the basic gross anatomy with histopathology and etiopathogenesis of different types of strokes. The best aspect is the very well organized elaboration of disease characteristics with pathophysiological changes through to treatment." --© Doody’s Review Service,2021,Ram K Saha, M.D. (Thomas Jefferson University) Score: 92-4 Stars!
