Visual observation of patients is crucial in the diagnosis of
movement disorders. Such observation can be subject to many
pitfalls. The powerful lessons in this case-based book will help
the reader appreciate diagnoses missed or wrongly attributed,
movements difficult to characterize, tests inappropriately ordered
or interpreted, and treatments incorrectly chosen or dosed. The
wisdom of hindsight thus generated becomes an invaluable and
enduring lesson. Organized in nine chapters according to the
categories of errors and oversights, each case conveys a specific
set of clinical pearls on diagnostic or therapeutic issues. The
text is written in a coaching style, buttressed by the strong
pedagogic wisdom of the authors. The 'hard questions' after each
case are meant to steer the discussion straight into the pitfalls -
and how they could have been avoided. Video segments on the
accompanying CD-ROM are important complementary data, critical to a
field so intimately dependent on phenomenological clues.
