About this book

Neurotrauma in Multiple Choice Questions is the FIRST review book to use the multiple-choice question format in neurosurgical trauma. Students of neurosurgery, the resident, the fellow, the younger neurosurgeon preparing for exams or practice, and even the later stage neurosurgeon are the target audience of this book. The information in this work is in accordance with the most up-to-date best practice evidence, with a style that mirrors the format adopted by the majority of local, regional, and international board examinations. The strategy and format of the questions provide a stepwise progression from definition to surgical decision-making, to a comprehensive and concise overview of neurological trauma.

Reviews

“Neurotrauma: In Multiple Choice Questions … provides approximately 400 multiple-choice questions (MCQs) and serves as rapid review of the assessment, management, and outcomes for the full breadth of clinical neurotrauma topics. … the authors of Neurotrauma: In Multiple-Choice Questions provide a well-written, succinct, and evidence-based review of cranial, spinal, and peripheral nerve neurotrauma. The book succeeds as the authors intend it to, as an adjunct to existing texts on neurotrauma and ‘to help readers identify their relevant strengths and weaknesses in the area.’” (Matthew J. McPheeters, Neurosurgery, Vol. 90 (5), May, 2022)
