Summary:

"Gain confidence in the differential diagnosis of common clinical neurologic presentations with this selection of case studies uniquely formatted to test your knowledge. Each case is accompanied by a realistic patient history and a full neurological exam, allowing you to apply key information similar to that you would receive when examining a patient in practice. The book then challenges you to identify the most likely diagnosis as well as formulate less likely but possible differential diagnoses based on the evidence provided. After turning the page, you will discover the correct answer along with a description of the typical and atypical presentations of the condition and the diagnostic work-up. 30 cases are available based on commonly seen conditions which are often included on trainee and licensure certification boards. Ideal for medical students, neurology resident and fellow trainees studying or reviewing for boards, licensure exams or simply a clinical review"-- Cambridge Core
