Summary: Epilepsy Fellow
Review: Cases are organized by topic, and each has sections on presentation, exam, summary, DDX, evaluation and treatment. Very thought-provoking, and, I'm told, much like the actual process of taking the oral exam.

Summary: Indispensible for Neurology Part II Boards
Review: Fantastic review that helps you think in the style that is tested on the oral boards. An ample amount of cases in which to practice. Not bogged down with irrelevant details. A must-read prior to Part II boards.

Summary: very helpful
Review: It is in 250 pages, with margins to take and make your own notes (a feature I used and enjoyed). It is in two parts and 18 chapters. The first Neuro Presentations (coma, headache, dizzy, dementia, ataxia). The second is Neuro Disease (vascular, infectious, trauma, demyelinating, metabolic/systemic, movement, Neoplastic, epilepsy, sleep, spinal cord, neuromuscular, pain, pediatric). Each chapter has 4-7 cases. Each case is about 2-3 pages in length. Cases are very interactive and provoking; the questions are followed by the answers/explanations. The case is built in the following manner: history and exam, summarize it, localize (not all), differential diagnosis, obtain further info, narrow the differential diagnosis, management, and prognosis.
In addition, there are informative concise reviews related to the case, for example Status protocol.
I used this book during my oral board preparation, and I found it very helpful. I agree with the two previous reviewers from June 2004.
