Neurological Differential Diagnosis
A Prioritized Approach by Roongroj
Bhidayasiri, Michael F. X. Waters
Neurology is primarily characterized
by a variety of diseases which seem
very similar and are therefore
difficult to distinguish between.
Skill at differential diagnosis is
therefore absolutely paramount.
Neurological Differential Diagnosis
is a streamlined handbook of
prioritized differential diagnosis,
to be used both in clinical practice
and for exam review.
By
presenting differential diagnosis in
order of frequency and importance,
this book provides a practical
handbook for clinicians in training,
as well as a potential resource for
quick board review. While the book
covers the most important syndromes
and disease entities, readers are
referred to other texts for more
exhaustive differentials. By
limiting differentials in this way -
to the most likely and most serious
diagnoses - the reader can more
easily recall relevant disease
processes when faced with a
particular clinical situation,
whether it be a patient in the
emergency room or a difficult
question on the board examination .
The book specifically targets
neurology residents and fellows,
with overlap to neurosurgery and
psychiatry. Internal medicine
physicians with an interest in
neurological problems and medical
students looking for an edge in
clinical neuroscience would also
benefit from this text.
The
content is primarily mid-level
material, in a pedagogical format.
In order to organize the students'
thought processes, concise tables
and line drawing templates are
included. The book is organized into
broad chapters by type of disorder
and some overlap occurs between
particular chapters.
