| Abstract | "Forensic Neuropathology is written by experts for specialists and trainees alike and succeeds in addressing the concerns of the forensic pathologist and the neuropathologist by tackling the overlapping problems that arise during the postmortem examination and subsequent legal proceedings. Totally updated and revised, the new edition contains many new chapters, including much more information on non-accidental injury in pediatric cases, alcohol, sudden death, imaging, sports and transportation injury, long term effects of chronic brain injury and anoxal death"-- Provided by publisher. |
