Neurosurgery Rounds: Questions and Answers is a guide for medical students and neurosurgical residents to prepare for the common yet challenging questions put forward during neurosurgery rounds. In the vein of other popular study guides, the authors provide a question-and-answer (Q&A) format organized into nine chapters covering both basic and clinical neuroscience. In addition to the Q&A, most chapters contain a section of short clinical vignettes with discussions. Questions range from basic to esoteric. Most are accompanied by illustrations and references to other literature.
This represents a solid reference for rounds, and for those who learn well from a Q&A format, a guide for neurosurgical board preparation. It is recommended for all medical students interested in neurosurgery and for neurosurgical residents.
