Instant Neurological Diagnosis: A Companion to Neurobowl© brings rapid neurological diagnosis blended into a unique format, complementing the annual Neurobowl© competition at the American Academy of Neurology conference. This book teaches neurologists to make a rapid diagnosis, by looking for clues starting from a patient’s appearance all the way down to a directed and precise examination.
The authors present a series of short cuts to best determine the nature of a disorder; some derive from clinical observations while others have been shown at previous Neurobowl© competitions. These diagnostic shortcuts that the authors call "Handles" are features that might permit a rapid diagnosis . Conversely "Red Flags" are observations that should warn a clinician to reconsider and think of an alternative solution.
Highly illustrated with figures, tables, and video clips throughout, Instant Neurological Diagnosis: A Companion to Neurobowl© is an ideal guide for enhancing clinical acumen and better patient management. This book is a perfect companion for any medical practitioner, from neurologists in training to specialists.
