"This book is a learning resource for those interested in neurology, or on a rotation in neurology. The layout and design of the book makes it a quick and easy read to understand the different concepts and diseases seen in the field." ©Doody's Review Service, 2023, Siddharth Dalal, MD (Northwell Health) Doody's Score: 5 Stars!
Written for a wide range of neurology and non-neurology clinicians and residents, Neurologic Localization and Diagnosis: Differential Diagnosis by Complaint-Based Approach is a concise, easy-to-use guide to establishing a neurologic diagnosis. This unique learning resource uses an algorithmic, complaint-based approach to localizing the condition, developing a list of differential diagnoses, and focusing further evaluation on establishing the diagnosis. Leading neurologists provide up-to-date, practical guidance for neurology residents, medical students, and neurologists, as well as nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and non-neurology physicians.
Offers a comprehensive approach to neurologic diagnosis, essentials of clinical neuroanatomy, localization by dysfunction and anatomy, and diagnosis of suspected disorders.
Concentrates on diagnosis by history and examination wherever possible, but also includes use of specific diagnostic tests where needed.
Addresses clinical evaluation for the purpose of establishing the diagnosis using the most rapid and efficient method possible.
An eBook version is included with purchase. The eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures and references, with the ability to search, customize your content, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud.
