"It is intended to guide and mentor readers in the role of a neurological consultant. The authors cover common topics encountered in clinical practice, with broad differential diagnostic considerations, with each chapter referring readers to external sources. Professors Kondziella and Waldemar seem to have created this book with neurology residents and novice neurologists in mind, although it serves as a quick reference for any practicing neurology consultant. ... This may become a new standard quick reference for neurology house officers." (Eduardo A. De Sousa, Doody's Book Reviews, October, 2017)
