Movement Disorders

Movement Disorders — Expert Level Reference

How it begins

La semiología del movimiento anormal: del circuito de los ganglios basales a la cabecera del paciente. Parkinsonismos, temblor, distonía, corea, mioclonías, tics y trastornos funcionales, con su fisiopatología, diagnóstico diferencial, tratamiento farmacoquirúrgico y las urgencias del movimiento que el internista no puede pasar por alto.
