If you love neurology, chances are that you also love a good puzzle. Providing a fun and refreshing alternative method of learning and reviewing neurological syndromes, conditions and diseases, this engaging book is perfect for those who love both neurology and riddles. 150 four-line riddles describe common neurodegenerative diseases and movement disorders as well as rare but commonly board-tested stroke syndromes, seizure disorders and infectious diseases. Each riddle contains cryptic clues such as patient demographic, clinical presentation and underlying pathophysiology for each condition and there are hints in case you get stuck. On the following page you will find the answer to the riddle along with a complete description of the condition, including the history of the disease, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, diagnostics, treatment and prognosis to aid learning. For even more challenging neuroscience puzzles, consider the Neuroanatomy Riddle Book, which includes riddles about clinically-relevant neuroanatomical structures.

If you love neuroanatomy, chances are that you also love a good puzzle. Providing a fun and refreshing alternative method of learning and reviewing neuroanatomical structures, this engaging book is perfect for those who love both neuroanatomy and riddles. 150 four-line riddles describe specific high-yield neuroanatomical structures in cryptic form. These could be lobes or general regions of the brain, blood vessels supplying key neurological structures, specific anatomical brain structures, or neuroanatomical spaces and passages. Hints such as general location in the body, the structure's function or dysfunction if impaired, or its Latin or Greek name origin are incorporated. On the following page from each riddle, the answer is given along with a complete description of the structure, history of the structure, clinical correlation and more key information For even more challenging neuroscience puzzles, consider the Neurology Riddle Book, which includes riddles about neurological syndromes, conditions and diseases.

Gain confidence in the differential diagnosis of common clinical neurologic presentations with this selection of case studies uniquely formatted to test your knowledge. Each case is accompanied by a realistic patient history and a full neurological exam, allowing you to apply key information similar to that you would receive when examining a patient in practice. The book then challenges you to identify the most likely diagnosis as well as formulate less likely but possible differential diagnoses based on the evidence provided. After turning the page, you will discover the correct answer along with a description of the typical and atypical presentations of the condition and the diagnostic work-up. 30 cases are available based on commonly seen conditions which are often included on trainee and licensure certification boards. Ideal for medical students, neurology resident and fellow trainees studying or reviewing for boards, licensure exams or simply a clinical review.
