The field of Neuromuscular Pathology continues to grow, as demonstrated by the many multivolume and specialized texts published in recent years. This concise textbook offers a comprehensive overview of both the clinical and histological aspects of common and rare neuromuscular disorders. It serves two primary purposes: to present neuromuscular diseases in a simplified, integrated, and easily accessible format for those new to the field, and to provide a clear approach to histological features through simple illustrations, tables, and algorithms for muscle and nerve biopsy analysis. The book is organized into three sections with 30 chapters. The first section covers the fundamental principles of neuromuscular histology, physiology, processing techniques, histochemistry, and laboratory management. The second and third sections address neuromuscular diseases using a step-by-step approach, supported by algorithms and organized tables. The format is designed to be easy to navigate, with practical tips for histopathological diagnosis, clinical scenarios for common neuromuscular conditions, and helpful illustrations. This guide will be particularly beneficial to neurologists, neuropathologists, trainees, and medical students involved in clinical neuroscience and pathology, aiding in both education and practical application.
