Facial Neuropathies, Volume 202 summarizes research and treatment on focal neuropathies to update clinicians on nerve biology and new diagnostic techniques to guide investigation and treatment of mononeuropathies. The book explores research broadly applicable to all types of mononeuropathies as well as individual mononeuropathy syndromes. Chapters on individual mononeuropathies include anatomy, causes, controversial diagnoses, and current or potential future treatments.
