"The case descriptions are concise, relevant, and well referenced. I regret that I did not have access to this resource when I was starting out in neurosurgery!" -AVIVA ABOSCH, MD, PHD "Illustrating key clinical principles with surgical efficiency, this book is the essential companion of the Neurosurgery resident." -LOLA B. CHAMBLESS, MD, FAANS "I predict this will be an indispensable reference for trainees in neurosurgery." -EDWARD CHANG, MD "The Neurosurgical Consult Book provides residents a library of the common consults with quick summaries of presentations, imaging findings, clinical signs, management plans, and learning points. This handbook will surely find its way into the pockets of neurosurgery residents." -MICHAEL T. LAWTON, MD "Whether you’re in the midst of a busy day on-call or between cases, this book will provide succinct, highly relevant background and management pearls on neurosurgical conditions at all levels." -MICHAEL LIM, MD "This is an outstanding book that fills a critical niche and will be a ‘must-have’ in resident call rooms for years to come." -WILLIAM J. MACK, MD, MS, FAANS, FACS, FAHA "The mastery of clinical examination and a meticulous understanding of neurosurgical pathology is a continuous process, and it starts even before our residency and continues way after we finish our training. This book illustrates the importance of these consults for all of us and, most importantly, for the well-being of our patients." -ALFREDO QUIÑONES-HINOJOSA, MD, FAANS, FACS "While it is impossible to know and see everything throughout one’s career, this book offers highly practical information on the differential diagnosis, work-up and investigation, and management of patients presenting with neurosurgical disorders of all types. An especially valuable resource for junior trainees, and one which I wish I had at my fingertips back then!" -JAMES T. RUTKA, MD, PHD "I anticipate that this book will help consolidate the neurosurgical libraries of many providers into a single reference used on a routine basis." -DANIEL M. SCIUBBA, MD, MBA "This book will serve as the voice of reason to prepare the next generation of neurosurgeons to think about all problems in a broad sense while maintaining their confidence as they care for our patients and their families." -NICHOLAS THEODORE, MD, FACS, FAANS
Written by neurosurgery residents for neurosurgery residents and other providers, The Neurosurgical Consult Book focuses on the initial care and treatment of the neurosurgical consult patient, providing the key guidance you need when quick clinical management decisions are critical. You will learn to recognize the acuity of patient presentation and determine how to immediately triage the needs of the patient at an appropriate level of care. This portable, practical guide helps you quickly steer neurosurgical patients to medical stability and safety until a definitive treatment plan is implemented.
