Instant Neurological Diagnosis: A Companion to Neurobowl® brings rapid neurologic diagnosis blended into a unique format that combines teaching and entertainment. Like the annual Neurobowl® competition, this book teaches neurologists to guess the answers of a diagnosis as fast as possible. This book tells users how to make a rapid clinical diagnosis or when to stop and reconsider previous diagnoses.

The authors of this book have collected diagnostic short cuts; some from observations and others identified at grand rounds at Neurobowl® competitions at the American Academy of Neurology conference. These diagnostic shortcuts include Handles- clinical features like facial appearance, how a patient dresses, walks, talks, the patients' history, and physical examination- that might permit a rapid diagnosis. Red Flags are the opposite. They are observations from the history and examination
should alert the clinician to reconsider and think of an alternative diagnosis.
