Abstract

edited by John H.J. Wokke, Pieter A. van Doorn, Jessica E. Hoogendijk, Marianne de Visser, 178 pp., Cambridge University Press, New York, NY, 2013, $79.99 Neuromuscular medicine is a diverse field with an emphasis on the genetic and molecular basis of disease. It poses challenges for the neurologist in making diagnoses and formulating treatments. Many neurology residents get intimidated by the complexity of neuromuscular disease presentations and the broad differential diagnosis of many cases. This book is successful at converting such a complex branch of neurology into a digestible format.
