Book excerpt: A book of over 100 short cases for the paediatric trainee, covering the complete spectrum of the Paediatric MRCP examination (e.g. cardiovascular, respiratory, abdominal, eyes, skin, hands/feet/limbs, neurology and developmental neurology, face, head and neck). Each case is covered using a standardised format for ease of quick reference and is illustrated, where necessary, with black and white photographs and clear explanatory line drawings. Each case features a short description of the case itself, some key information on the disease/condition, the most useful diagnostic techniques (and what these reveal) and differential diagnosis where appropriate.
