Summary:

This casebook and reference will help medical students prepare for rotations and exams, with material in sections on optics/refraction, neuro-ophthalmology/orbit, pediatric ophthalmology/strabismus, external disease/adnexa, and the anterior and posterior segment. The book was written as a companion to the authors' text Review of Ophthalmology, but can also be used separately for case-based learning. The 116 cases have been selected to highlight the most common, vision-threatening, and life-threatening ocular conditions. Each case is introduced with a color figure and brief patient history. Questions ask students about expected findings, differential diagnoses, workup, management, and prognosis. Suggested answers are also included. The book is illustrated with color and b&w clinical photos and images on every page. The website offers searchable text. Friedman is affiliated with Stanford University School of Medicine. Kaiser is affiliated with Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
