Neurosurgery Rounds

Enabling readers to tackle neurosurgery in a convenient Q&A format, this book contains the answers to questions you will encounter on rounds, in the clinic, at the bedside (pre-op, post-op, and non-op), and in the operating room. Key clinical questions are immediately followed by a concise, paragraph-length answer, and supplemented by tables, outlines, lists, and cases. You will find chapters on neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, neurology, cranial pathology, spine and peripheral nerve pathology that cover such crucial topics as Parkinson's Disease, multiple sclerosis, critical care, vascular disease, trauma, tumors, degenerative disease, peripheral nerve lesions and entrapments, and more. Excellent radiographic and pathologic images, as well as anatomy diagrams, further aid comprehension. Here is an ideal review text and study guide that no medical student, junior neurosurgery resident, or general surgery resident should be without. Neurosurgery Rounds: Questions and Answers is the first guide dedicated to preparing residents and medical students for the challenging questions -- known as "pimping" in the vernacular -- they will frequently encounter on neurosurgery rotation.

Nine succinct chapters fully cover the basic and clinical neurosciences in a convenient Q&A format that is ideal for self-study. Short answers and explanations appear directly below the questions to enable easy reading on the go.

- Over 1,600 questions and answers quiz readers on a wide range of neurosurgical topics

The perfect size to fit in a lab coat pocket, this concise review will be the constant companion of every medical student on a neurosurgical rotation and every neurosurgery resident or general surgery resident who needs to prepare for rounds or study for board examinations.
