Neuromuscular Clinical Cases: For Board Review, Clinical Practice, and Study — Summary

350 neuromuscular cases with questions and answers—one resource for board prep, clinic, and lifelong learning.

This book delivers a comprehensive, case-based approach to neuromuscular medicine. Each vignette begins with a concise presentation (age, symptoms, tempo), then guides you through localization, differential diagnosis, essential tests (EMG/NCS, MRI, CSF, antibodies, genetics), and evidence-based management. Each case closes with key questions and answers to reinforce reasoning, highlight pitfalls, and lock in exam-ready pearls.

The 350 cases span the full spectrum of neuromuscular disorders:

• Upper motor neuron and myelopathies — cervical spondylotic myelopathy, hereditary spastic paraplegia, inflammatory and infectious cord syndromes.

• Movement and parkinsonian syndromes — corticobasal, PSP, and atypical phenotypes with bedside diagnostic clues.

• Pediatric hypotonia and muscular dystrophies — from SMA and congenital myopathies to FSHD, limb-girdle dystrophies, dermatomyositis, and immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy.

• Motor neuron diseases — ALS variants, mimics, and genetic testing strategies.

• Peripheral neuropathies — diabetic plexopathy, CIDP, amyloidosis, immune-mediated neuropathies, and toxic/metabolic causes.

• GBS and acute flaccid paralysis — AIDP, AMAN, AMSAN, Miller–Fisher.

• Neuromuscular junction disorders — myasthenia gravis, LEMS, congenital syndromes, botulism, and crisis care.

• Channelopathies & episodic syndromes — periodic paralysis, myotonias, episodic ataxias.

• Metabolic, mitochondrial, and ICU neuromuscular cases — exercise intolerance, rhabdomyolysis, and critical illness.

• Hereditary and genetic disorders — dystrophinopathies, FSHD, EDMD, CMT, HNPP, and rare myopathies.

With 350 real-world cases and structured Q&A, this book serves as a dual-purpose tool: a board-review roadmap for trainees and a clinical companion for practicing neurologists, physiatrists, and neuromuscular specialists.
