Book excerpt: A Video Atlas of Neuromuscular Disorders includes nearly 300 video cases directly from a neuromuscular clinic, illustrating a myriad of disorders and shedding light on their diagnosis and treatment. By replacing extensive text with vivid illustrative videos, the reader can focus on, the intellectual challenges of these, cases instead of attempting to build, a mental picture of the cases first. Concise video 'clips from real' clinic stories supplemented with challenging multiple choice questions provide an excellent way to bridge the gap between overflow of information and short attention spans. Arranged by symptoms instead of diseases for efficient reference, this essential atlas is perfect for preparing for the neurology and neuromuscular boards, and is an excellent resource for updating general neurologists and practitioners.
