Product Description

Review

…a stimulating read that can be recommended for residents and students.
-European Neurology

Product Description

All physicians need to learn to diagnose and manage head pain. However, there are many causes of headache: some are secondary to other conditions; others are disorders in themselves. These factors often make differential diagnosis and treatment a challenge. This didactic atlas approaches the problem of migraine and other headaches from a visual perspective. The contents cover the history of migraine and headache, their epidemiology, diagnosis and treatment. While the central emphasis is on migraine, all types of headache are addressed. The book includes some classic illustrations from historical texts as well as modern images that illustrate the disorders and current thinking.

This review is from: Atlas of Migraine and Other Headaches (Hardcover)

My neurologist had a copy of this book and let me borrow it. I liked it so much, I bought my own copy, along with what I think is a companion book, Atlas of the Headache by the same authors. These books are written for doctors but anyone who has suffered from migraines long enough probably knows most of the info in these books. This is college-level material and packed with diagrams and scanned images (for example, MRIs of the brain) and also the history of medicine regarding headaches. I'm not saying this material is for everyone, but those who are interested in how the brain works and where headaches come from will find this book interesting. For me, seeing actual artist renditions of what an "aura" looks like and how vision disturbances are experienced during a migraine were particularly stunning. It's hard to explain these things to your doctor and some doctors had a hard time explaining to me what an aura is/what it looks like. Those who experience aura during migraine can be at risk for a stroke, so I feel these books do a tremendous service in helping patients discover and describe their own migraine experiences for better diagnosis and treatment. I highly recommend these books to any student of medicine, and any patient who is having difficulty in working with their doctor to categorize their headache type. Migraine treatment is a long and painful process for some, and this information will save so much time, cost, and hurt for the new migraine patient.
