designed to reflect the latest MRCPCH examination questions, this book provides a unique and varied selection of clinical cases and their associated explanations. The 100 cases cover all the subspecialties of paediatrics with particular emphasis on paediatric neurology. Each case is clearly and comprehensively explained, many being illustrated with neuro-imaging, X-rays, EEGs and photographs. The discussion section for each case directs the reader to other information sources including textbooks, journals, websites, and courses where relevant.
Review
This text provides the revising trainee with realistic and fair clinical conundrums that have much wider applications than in an examination hall. Like any good revision text this collection of cases allows you to forget that you are actually revising and by the end of the book you develop a knack for identifying pertinent information and ignoring the red herrings. I am sure that this will soon appear on many trainees' bookshelves.
