"Neurological Differential Diagnosis: A Prioritized Approach" provides a practical, problem-based differential diagnosis for the entire spectrum of neurological disease.
The unique aspect of this resource is that the differential diagnosis lists are prioritized by listing the most common possibilities first. Furthermore, less common diagnoses that are potentially fatal or disabling in the acute period (diagnoses that "you don't want to miss") are also highlighted. Moreover, each differential also contains characteristics that help distinguish the specific diagnoses.
Key Features

- A marvelous example of providing the practical and probabilistic approach to patients with disorders of the nervous system.
