Produktbeschreibung

Featuring some 100 cases submitted by international authorities on movement disorders, this highly useful work delivers a series of pithy, interesting, teaching vignettes directly applicable to caring for patients with these problems. Avoiding the formality of a traditional monograph, this accessible text adopts a casual tone with short chapters that are conducive to a "quick read" - something that is of paramount importance to a busy practitioner or resident. Including educational illustrative material such as radiology imaging histopathology, and patient photographs, the text also provides a DVD containing videotapes of patients in order to fully appreciate the cases and enhance their teaching value. Practical and user-friendly, Movement Disorders: 100 Instructive Cases represents a unique opportunity to take the venue for hearing about interesting cases from the ward and conference room to one's easy chair and computer.
