Summary: Don't waste time reading this, go & buy it now !
Comment: This great book has joined my "Illustrative books collection" for the last 4 years. Being fond of illustrations, this book attracted me when I saw it first.
I haven't found any other illustrative book in Neurology and Neurosurgery which competes with this one!
Neurologic diseases have numerous signs and symptoms, not to mention the extensive neurological clinical exams. When I used to read some neurology books, I often didn't understand some of the features of a disease. This book has solved my problem !

- This book comes in 573 pages, in its 3nd edition (1997), and is published by Churchill Livingstone company. I hope there will be a new edition in the near future.

- It's classified into 5 sections:

Section 1 deals with General approach to history and examination.

Section 2: Investigations of the central & peripheral nervous systems. This section teachs you the basic physics and interpretation of the common investigations used e.g. x-rays, CT scan, MRI, ultrasound, angiography, radionucleotide imaging, EEG, Evoked potentials, EMG, LP, and others.

Section 3: clinical presentation, anatomical concepts and diagnostic approach. It covers many issues from headache, raised ICP, disorders of sleep, memory, speech & language, to brain death.

Section 4: Localized neurological disease and its management e.g. head injury, subdural and epidural hematomas, TIA, CVA, intra-cranial tumors, and movement disorders. It also deals with spinal cord roots diseases and peripheral nerve and muscle diseases.

Section 5: Multi-focal neurological disease and its management e.g. meningitis, myelitis, poliomyelitis, AIDS, demyelination diseases, neurocutaneous disease, and more !

This book will be very useful for medical students and residents in Internal Medicine or Neurology. 10/10

One last advise, try to buy most, if not all, the Illustrated series e.g. Neurology and Neurosurgery Illustrated, Obstetrics Illustrated, Gynecology Illustrated, Biochemistry Illustrated, Physiology Illustrated etc. They're extremely useful, and you won't regret buying them!

Summary: Neurology and Neurosurgery Illustrated - A Review
Comment: This is an excellent addition to anyone's medical library. It is especially useful to those doing primary care. The descriptions of the various disorders are clear-cut and consice in easy to understand descriptions. The illustrations further reinforce the text allowing one to better visualize the affliction, the related anatomy, and any diagnostic testing. A well worth investment.
