This book presents a selection of neurological clinical cases and tests the reader in order to allow them to gain clinical self-confidence in approaching the case, requesting tests (negotiating test with other specialties e.g. radiology) and also in referring to other specialties. The book examines a range of different clinical scenarios and neurological conditions from multiple sclerosis and degenerative disorders to epilepsy and headache. The book can serve as a teaching aid in a classroom setting, where teacher introduces the case ("telling the story", neurological examination) and the students then propose differential diagnoses and further tests. Teacher, when suitable, shows representative test result to students and expects students to interpret scan/test, eventually concluding the case, proposing further referrals and discussing prognosis Each chapter also contains visual aids in the form of Neuroexam, helping the reader gain a quick understanding of the case. Aimed at trainee neurologists and any non-neurologists who might encounter neurological cases in the clinic, this book is useful for bedside teaching especially when there are not enough available patients on ward.

Case Presentations in Neurology presents a selection of case histories demonstrating how patients with often quite simple problems may present and to bring out aspects of their diagnosis and management. All the patients presented to the Department of Neurology including those with more obscure diagnoses. The book consists of 12 exercises, each of six cases broadly corresponding to the style of the MRCP (UK) written case history papers. Each case is set out with the history and physical findings given first. There follows either a series of questions or true/false statements on one side of the page which the reader should attempt before continuing on to the answer section on the other side. There then follows a short discussion about each case and a single reference. This book is intended for those doctors studying for higher professional qualifications such as the MRCP, although it may be of interest and use to medical students approaching their final examinations.

This book brings a pioneering interactive approach to the teaching of neuroanatomy, using over 100 actual clinical cases and high-quality radiologic images to bring the subject to life. This edition is fully updated with the latest advances and includes several exciting new cases and a 2-year subscription to the interactive eBook.

Presented as a selection of long and short cases, this book is a practical guide to the diagnosis and management of neurological disorders and diseases for trainees. Each case is explained in question and answer format as it would be on clinical ward rounds, with emphasis on accurate diagnosis based on history taking and clinical findings. Divided into seven sections, each featuring several cases, the book covers higher mental functions/cerebral hemisphere, cranial nerves, spinal cord, ataxia, peripheral neuropathy, neuromuscular junction disorders, and extrapyramidal syndrome. The text is further enhanced by clinical images, diagrams and tables, and concludes with a section of ‘pearls for viva voce examination’.

This new review textbook, written by residents and an experienced faculty member from Cleveland Clinic, is designed to ensure success on all sorts of standardized neurology examinations. Presented in a comprehensive question-and-answer format, with detailed rationales, Comprehensive Review in Clinical Neurology is a must-have for both aspiring and practicing neurologists and psychiatrists preparation to take the RITE, the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology written exams, and various recertification exams.

Neurology Clinical Case Studies by Morris Levin, MD, Dartmouth Medical School, provides 93 cases describing the most important clinical situations to prepare candidates for the Oral Board Exam. Each case gives step-by-sep analysis of possible diagnoses leading to the correct diagnostic conclusion and then an explanation of the appropriate treatment. This book is useful to neurologists in training because it simulates the process of analysis used in actual practice.
