From the Publisher:             

     Featuring 102 video clips of patients with diverse neurologic problems, this text/DVD package is a powerful educational tool for mastering the clinical practice of neurologic diagnosis.  Through real-time videos of comprehensive neurologic examination, you can visually demonstrate the techniques and reasoning that lead to accurate diagnosis.

     Each case begins with a patient history or vignette and then shows the neurologic examination, the signs and symptoms elicited, and photos from imaging or other studies.  Concise text describes the examination, the findings, and the diagnosis.  Also included are 260 multiple choice questions cross-referenced to the videos and to Dr. Biller's Practical Neurology, Second Edition.

This Easy-To-Navigate Text and DVD Package Also Features:

• Learning objectives for every case
• Clinical Vignettes paired with videos of the actual patient examination
• Videos that show pre and post treatment examinations
• Cases that can be accessed by title to review known diagnoses or at random so you can try to make the diagnosis yourself.
• Cases that range from easy to challenging to make this useful for those just learning as well as those reviewing their own knowledge.
• Questions that can be accessed in sequence or at random and then link back to relevant cases.
