The questions are pitched at different levels of expertise and are followed by detailed explanatory answers. The cases appear in random order, just as they would in real life, and enable the reader - by solving the clinical puzzle - to make differential diagnoses, treatment plans and prognoses.

Many illustrations feature clinical photographs and diagnostic imaging, while some questions involve interpretation of biochemical or haematological data. The authors have taken account of the latest developments in the field and the title provides a fully up-to-date review for experienced practitioners and physicians in training.
