Summary: Beautiful illustrations and a pleasure to read
Comment: I am a 3rd-year neurology resident, and I don't have the time nor the energy to plow through thousands of pages of densely written neurology textbooks. This book has wonderful illustrations that make it easy to remember the complexities of the nervous system so that you can put them to use for localization at the bedside. The text is clear but not verbose. I highly recommend this book for neurology residents.

Summary: Best illustrations around
Comment: Not the most complete book on neurological differential diagnosis (I do not know what book that would be), but is is a treasure simply for its amazing illustrations. You can actually see things only described about in other texts. It almost seems like one is at the neuroanatomy lab! The short vignettes are a nice touch and may be helpful to some. They serve to break up the text and reinforce the pathology just described. I think this book is best used by residents.

Summary: A little known masterpiece
Comment: This beautifully written textbook is a one author tour de force on sorting out neurological differential diagnoses on the basis of the neurological exam and history.
The author, John Philip Patten, is a British neurologist whose classical training is evident in the thoroughness with which he discusses most of the problems. The artwork in the book is an especially attractive feature, having been produced by the author's son to very carefully illustrate the concepts his father expounds. The book is suitable for the neurological and neurosurgical resident keen on understanding how the clinical examination can help with diagnosis.
My only criticism is that the differential diagnoses offered are in no way comprehensive. If the author produced tables of differentials for each problem, along with the frequencies of each differential and explanations as to how to sort through them, the book would be much better. I sincerely hope this suggestion will be considered when the time comes for a new edition.
