 Good selection of cases September 20, 2007

This book has a good selection of pediatric cases followed by description and discussion.
I recommend this one just like all the others from this collection (Case review).
Just read it when you get some free time to spare.

The diagnoses are well chosen. Images are not perfect but in most cases good enough to see the pertinent findings. Everything goes downhill from here.
What was most troubling was that the book contains many factual innacuracies (confusing intra/extra lobar sequestration, creutzfeld-jacob virus as the causative factor in PML, I could go on and on. After doing half of the cases, I stopped believing much of what the authors had to say in the discussions.
Many typos which did not bother me. Annoying unrelated questions and long useless discussions. Poor differentials in most cases. Their differential for a JNA was every tumor under the sun that could happen in the nasopharynx of a teenage boy.
Having said all that, there are very few case related resources for the orals in pediatrics. I think that for $40, this book is still better than nothing. Each case often has more than one image so that at least you get a sense of what the disease looks like on different modalities.

If you were wondering, the poor reviews below are accurate. The book is okay, at best for its choice of topics and superficial discussions. However, the discussions have little to do with the images. There is no explanation of the findings. Altogether a terrible job putting this book together. It seems so obvious how to make a good case review book. This isnt it.
 worst of the series May 23, 2005

This is without question the worst of the series. Typos, black pearls, text often doesn't refer to the pictures at all. Better than nothing...I suppose, but really substandard. I hope they didn't pay a real editor for this sloppy work.
Not worth waiting for.
 Pony up and buy the book May 10, 2005

Sure this book is getting some flack from reviews and my fellow collegues, but if you want some more cases to review for Peds oral boards, this has been a good place to go after reading Donnelly (I've learned some new things from the cases). And let's face it, there are not that many Radiology Peds review books. The questions take a little getting use to. Although some of the questions may not be directly related to the case at hand, most appeared relavant: either pearls or related to the topic (aka pimp questions). One strength to the book was that good differentials were given. As with the other case review books, it would be nice to have a sentence or two describing the findings in the images, since the findings are not always apparent (to me) and would be helpful for studying for the descriptive component for oral boards.
