The principal purposes of this book are two-fold: to provide a revision tool for those approaching medical finals or other undergraduate neurology examinations and to provide a quick and easy to use on-the-ward reference for students on clinical placements, junior doctors and interns. Rapid Neurology and Neurosurgery provides a concise, structured approach to neurology and neurosurgery learning, covering key facts in a simple and memorable way: Part 1 features the basic principles and facts that are essential for a good understanding of neurology and neurosurgery - common presentations; selected questions to ask; differentials; basic investigations and basic management Part 2 features OSCE-style examination preparation Part 3 presents important clinical conditions with common sections - definition; aetiology; pathology; epidemiology; history; examination; investigations; management; complications; prognosis and differential diagnoses Contains only the essential, core relevant facts in a concise, pocket-sized, 'rapid' refresher for use on the wards, to provide a thorough foundation of neurological knowledge
