Textbook of Neurology: A comprehensive but simplified textbook of Neurology

By Bertha Chioma Ekeh and Dr Bertha Chioma Ekeh

Neurology has been described by medical students and Doctors all over the world with a barrage of adjectives: difficult, intimidating, challenging, tough, complicated, complex to mention but a few. As a medical student in Nigeria many years ago, I was also intimidated by the complex tracts, examination and clinical syndromes. Be that as it may, I was equally fascinated by this specialty that was only understood by a select few. Having being encouraged by a senior colleague, I chose to give this specialty the extra time and attention it deserved culminating in my being a Neurologist today. Over the years, I gradually unravelled the basics concepts and principles: I love and cherish my little understanding of this wonderful specialty. It has therefore been my utmost desire to make Neurology an interesting but simple subject. This I have done to some extent in several medical schools and fora in Nigeria.My greatest joy and fulfillment comes when my students reply; 'Thank you ma, you have made it easy'. "Textbook of Neurology" fulfils that desire of presenting the basic principles in an interesting and simplified manner to a much larger class. The book discusses the cardinal Neurological topics in a way that is easy to understand and assimilate by all medical students and Doctors. There are two parts; Evaluation of Neurological disorders and Diseases of the Central Nervous System. The first part discusses the basics of Evaluation and Diagnosis in Neurology. This comprises History taking, Neurological Examination and Investigations of Neurological Disorders.The second part discusses the major disorders like Cerebrovascular Disease, Epilepsy, Disorders of Consciousness and others. It is written in such simple English for easier understanding to all. Textbook of Neurology therefore is probably the easiest Neurology text book ever: it is "Neurology Demystified".
