A brand new edition of Essential Neurology brings the text
fully up-to-date. This book is a core text for medical students and
junior doctors, who want a comprehensive yet concise practical
guide to clinical neurology.
To make the book more readable and digestible, we have
introduced colour into the text. This text provides clear
explanations of the most common neurological and neurosurgical
disorders. The most up-to-date clinical methods are covered to
ensure students are learning the newest techniques. To enhance the
readers' understanding of this subject more illustrations,
line drawings and scans are incorporated into the text.
Another new addition is the inclusion of clinical cases with
self-assessment questions at the end of every chapter. These help
to clearly illustrate the clinical presentations of key
neurological disorders.
Essential Neurology is ideal for medical students on
neurology attachments and an excellent review text for the MRCP
examination.
