This small (15.5 × 23.5 cm) book summarizes in a clear, well-organized format almost all of the most common conditions, features, and concerns of neurological practice. A chapter on the neurological examination precedes the next 14 chapters which cover (2) “Headache and Facial Pain”; (3) “Loss of Consciousness and Coma” (beginning with epilepsy and ending with sleep apnea, and coma); (4) “Cranial Nerve Dysfunction” (1 through 12 with special emphasis on oculomotor disorders); (5) “Vertigo, Dizziness and Ataxia” (including a brief discussion of psychiatric issues); (6) “Disorders of Higher Cortical Function” (just about all of them); (7) “Cerebrovascular Disease” (with largest sections on infarction, small vessel disease, and subarachnoid hemorrhage); (8) “Parkinson's Disease and Other Extrapyramidal Disorders”; (9) “Cerebral Tumour and Hydrocephalus”; (10) “Multiple Sclerosis” (more pages—12—on MS than any other condition); (11) “Central Nervous System Infection” (HIV is covered under the “Retrovirus” subsection); (12) “Motor Neuron Disease and Peripheral Nerve Disorders”; (13) “Spinal Cord Disorders”; (14) “Myasthenia Gravis and Muscle Disease”; and (15) “The Neurology of Cancer, Systemic Disease and Psychiatry.”
