More than 130 common disorders are addressed in four alphabetically organized sections: differential diagnosis of neurologic symptoms; differential diagnosis of neurologic signs; diseases of the spinal cord, peripheral nerves, and muscles; and diseases of the brain and brainstem. Abundant colorful drawings help clinicians understand critical neuroanatomy and recognize clinically significant anomalies. Case studies bring the diseases to life by highlighting salient features of various disorders, as well as key points on etiology, diagnosis, and treatment. Appendices outline special examination techniques and laboratory workups and treatment guidelines for each disease.

The first real cases video atlas of neuromuscular disorders that is supplemented with multiple-choice questions, and updates on the illustrated topics. It is easy to search and read. It is perfect for preparation to the neurology and neuromuscular boards and an excellent way to update the experts. By replacing the descriptive text with vivid illustrative videos, the reader will have more time to face the intellectual challenges of these cases instead of trying to build a mental picture of these cases first. Short and well-edited video clips from real clinic stories supplemented with challenging multiple choice questions, provides an excellent way to bridge the gap between overflow of information and short attention span. The chapters are arranged according the symptoms instead of diseases, yet, diseases are listed in the index if one wants to see all videos relevant to a specific disease. Close to 300 video cases* taken directly from a real neuromuscular clinic, illustrating a myriad of disorders and shedding light on their diagnosis, and treatment and giving updates about many of them provides an invaluable approach that should benefit any one who is interested in neuromuscular disorders which comprises more than 50% of presenting disease to general neurologists and even to general practitioners. Some rare diseases are also described, giving an opportunity for the new trainees to see them so that they can diagnosed them if they see them again which may not happen very often. *Due to size limitations, the videos are not included with any eBook version.
