This review is from: Differential Diagnosis in Neurology and Neurosurgery (Paperback)

I do not have enough words to describe the value of this book especially for Neurology residents. The book is first divided into different neurological categories.In each category the topics that have been addressed are commonly seen cases.The differential diagnosis is presented in most systematic manner with the possible causes you as a neurologist cannot afford to miss.Great book that every Neurology resident must carry in their pockets.It has been life saver for me in number of clinical discussions especially when it comes to generating neurological differntial diagnosis in 'Case Management' conferences and bed side case evaluation.
