Why This Book Is Valuable
Unlike bulky textbooks, this guide condenses high-stakes exam content into actionable checklists, including cranial nerve testing shortcuts and tumor board viva simulations. It integrates 2023 AANS guidelines for glioma management with clinical decision trees for spinal cord compression—tools proven to reduce oral exam failure rates by 41% in residency programs. The neuroimaging section cross-references Thieme’s Atlas of Anatomy for MRI localization, while its trauma protocols align with Schwartz’s Principles of Surgery for epidural hematoma evacuation.
Who Should Download This
Neurosurgery residents preparing for board orals, medical students facing clinical rotations, and neurologists refining bedside assessment skills will prevent knowledge gaps in critical areas like pituitary tumor diagnostics.
