Description:
A new addition to the Oxford Case Histories series, Obstetric Medicine provides the reader with 55 cases of different clinical presentations in obstetric medicine.
Each case is presented with a background to the subject area, a summary of the history, and examination findings, and relevant investigation results. This is followed by several questions on clinically important aspects of the case with answers and detailed discussion, particularly of the differential management options. Each topic is mapped on to both the curriculum for physicians undertaking obstetric medicine, and for obstetric trainees studying for membership exams, the Advance Training Skills Module in maternal medicine, and speciality training in maternal and fetal medicine.
Providing an ideal self-assessment tool, this new title is of interest to all doctors working in obstetrics, midwives, and students revising for exams.

A note from the series editors
Case histories have always had an important role in medical education, but most published material has been directed at undergraduates or residents. The Oxford Case Histories series aims to provide more complex case-based learning for clinicians in specialist training and consultants, with a view to aiding preparation for entry- and exit-level specialty examinations or revalidation.
Each case book follows the same format with approximately 50 cases, each comprising a brief clinical history and investigations, followed by questions on differential diagnosis and management, and detailed answers with discussion.
At the end of each book, cases are listed by mode of presentation, aetiology, and diagnosis. We are grateful to our colleagues in the various medical specialties for their enthusiasm
