    Réputé complexe et difficile, l’examen neurologique intimide tous les étudiants en médecine ainsi que les jeunes praticiens, à la fois dans la pratique clinique quotidienne et lors des examens. Il est, avec le recueil des antécédents, indispensable au diagnostic de nombreuses pathologies neurologiques, qui ne peuvent être dépistées que par cet examen. Ce livre, très pratique, explique de manière simple et concise comment conduire correctement l’examen neurologique. Chaque chapitre débute par le rappel succinct des données de base et s’articule ensuite en trois parties : ce qu’il faut faire, ce que l’on trouve, et ce que cela signifie. Ce livre, devenu un best-seller international traduit dans une quinzaine de langues, est conçu pour répondre à l’ensemble des situations cliniques courantes. L’ouvrage signale également les difficultés et met en garde contre les pièges à éviter. Enfin, de nombreux schémas anatomiques et des algorithmes facilitent la compréhension et, au fil du texte, les encadrés « à retenir » et « erreurs fréquentes » attirent l’attention du lecteur sur les aspects particuliers. Cette nouvelle édition entièrement révisée comprend également des mises à jour sur les techniques d’examen les plus efficaces.
