Reviews"This book covers all common general neurology well and the rarities briefly, but as such is an invaluable tool when deciding upon treatment of a condition which you have never seen before. It is inevitable in a handbook that content will be abbreviated; however, I think that this book is a successful balance of brevity and information." -- "Journal Neuromuscular Disorders"
