Common Pitfalls in Cognitive and Behavioral Neurology cover

Case-based approach to challenging scenarios in the diagnosis and management of neurological patients with cognitive and behavioral symptoms.

A case-based approach to the diagnosis and management of patients with cognitive and behavioral symptoms associated with neurological disorders. Disorders discussed include Alzheimer's disease and other dementias encountered in practice. A practical guide to identifying key diagnostic information, videos of patients illustrate the approaches taken.Clinical case studies are fundamental in cementing theoretical training, especially for neurological disorders where diagnosis can be difficult. This book describes a variety of clinical scenarios associated with either the misdiagnosis or incorrect management of cognitive and behavioral neurological syndromes, identifying common pitfalls, which are discussed in detail. Each case emphasizes the importance of information derived from the patient's history and physical examination in forming a correct diagnosis. Focusing on disorders and presentations that are a frequent source of confusion, key diagnostic principles are illustrated clearly. Questions to the reader move the narrative along logically, whilst highlighting specific aspects of clinical presentation that lead to the correct diagnosis. Videos of patients connect readers to the cases and demonstrate how to avoid diagnostic pitfalls.
