Written by an esteemed educator and founder of the renowned Chicago Review Course in
Neurological Surgery this updated review reflects substantive content additions to the 8th
edition. The two prior editions of the Rapid Review were must-have companions that fully
leveraged the vast knowledge contained within Greenberg's legendary tome. Through repetition
and spot-on questions this book brings clarity to a specialty whose sheer depth and breadth
presents comprehension and retention challenges. This book helps readers determine if they are
retaining key data and information thereby providing a robust self-assessment study tool for
ABNS certification. The 7th companion generated glowing reviews such as: A wonderful example
of how to turn the classic Greenberg text into a study guide rather than an encyclopedic
reference to a young neurosurgeon -AANS Young Neurosurgeons News Key Highlights: - Question
formats include fill in the blank open-ended questions true false matching and
identification of various elements in diagrams figures - Mnemonic devices helpful hints
clinical pearls and study charts aid in comprehension and long-term retention - Greenberg
chapter headings are used (e.g. 4.2.3) thereby providing clear-cut Handbook references - This
book is designed to help neurosurgical residents prepare for the ABNS primary examination and
or rounds. It will enable practicing neurosurgeons neurologists neuro-radiologists and
neuropathologists to develop a storehouse of knowledge required to efficaciously examine
analyze diagnose and treat neurosurgical patients.
