The video clips on this web site are a component of the third edition of Veterinary Neuroanatomy and Clinical Neurology by Alexander de Lahunta and Eric Glass and published by Elsevier in 2008. These video clips are organized by the chapters in this textbook where the case descriptions of the patients observed in the video clips can be found. These video clips have been selected from the collection compiled by the authors during their collective 50 years of experience. Where appropriate for each video clip, the anatomic diagnosis and clinical diagnosis are available on this web site, the basis for the anatomic diagnosis and the discussion of the differential diagnosis are found in the textbook.
