Index.

Symptoms and signs in neurology and psychiatry typically present in the clinical context of other underlying conditions. When evaluating a patient, a physician may choose to review a diverse list of potential underlying diagnoses with the aid of the editor team's existing text: Neurological Differential Diagnosis: A Case-Based Approach. However, if the patient has a known pre-existing condition, the physician will need to consider a reverse approach - considering what complications of that condition may be associated with current symptoms. This book provides quick-reference, comprehensive, concise summaries of neurologic, psychiatric and medical diagnoses with a focus on neurologic and psychiatric implications of systemic disorders. A separate pharmacology section provides a consolidated review of potential neurologic and psychiatric adverse effects of medications. This book is an invaluable resource for a broad medical audience, from the medical student to the experienced consultant.

Features
• All entries are listed alphabetically for quick look-up
• Diagnostic conditions follow a stereotyped order of presentation including epidemiology and demographics, highlights of each disorder, neurologic and psychiatric symptoms and signs, secondary complications, and potential neurologic or psychiatric complications of treatments
• A separate reference guide is provided focusing on the neurologic and psychiatric complications of medications treatments
