The primary focus is on history taking and proper clinical examination of the cases. Every effort has been made to describe the procedures of clinical examinations in such a way that the candidate can perform these examination techniques accurately in front of the examiner. Special emphasis has been given to the differential diagnosis of the cases, which is often a favourite question amongst the examiner. Clinical photographs of the cases as well as the important signs and investigation findings have been provided that will help the students for better understanding of the cases. The cases are being selected after discussing with experts in this field as well as candidates who have recently appeared in various postgraduate exams. Each chapter ends with a section on viva-voce questions that will help the candidates to mentally prepare for the viva before the final exam. In addition, a chapter on instruments has been included which is invariably a part of all postgraduate practical exams.
