A pocketbook in the handy Colour Guide format, giving an overview of the most important topics in neurology. Topics are presented in double-page spreads, with text on the left and illustrations on the right. High quality colour images, largely clinical photographs, demonstrate examples of the topic under discussion and the text provides a synoptic account to enhance the illustrations. The text is concise but relevant and wherever possible uses a standard set of headings (for example, epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, clinical features, treatment, prognosis.) The impressive collection of colour images allows readers access to a range of clinical examples they might not otherwise see in everyday practice. This revised edition has new sections on ataxia and gait disorders, a number of new illustrations and fully updated text throughout. The Colour Guides titles have no competition, with their combination of small size, concise text, and lavish use of colour images, they provide an inexpensive but invaluable pocket reference for students and doctors alike. Features: * A concise pictorial overview of neurology * Presented in the handy pocket-size Colour Guide format * High quality colour images accompany synoptic text * Double page spreads give fast access to vital information * New sections and illustrations for this revised edition * Gives reader access to a wide range of clinical examples at a low cost This is a super little book and, particularly at the price, one that I would wholeheartedly recommend to medical students and those preparing for the MRCP."
