Περιγραφή
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.
- Cases are structured in a consistent manner, based on key aspects of the reader’s learning, replicating how trainees will see patients clinically and how they will be tested in future licensure exams
- Explores the list of differential diagnoses for each condition in great detail, listing the common and differentiating features of each, comparing them to the presenting patient. Critically thinking through each differential diagnosis is an imperative skill for medical students, neurology trainees, and neurologists to develop
- There are no geographic barriers for this book, allowing students and trainees from all around the world to develop and deepen their understanding of clinical neurologic presentations using this engaging resource
- Authored by the creative minds behind the Neurology Riddle and Neuroanatomy Riddle books, who are highly experienced in teaching neuroscience/neurology content to residents at leading institutions
