Encyclopedia of Child Neurology

The Encyclopedia of Child Neurology covers the entire field of neurological disorders in childhood. All clinically relevant aspects of hereditary and acquired diseases of the central and peripheral nervous system from neonatal to young adult age are addressed, including muscle disorders and neurological manifestations of systemic diseases. Presented in alphabetical order, the consistently structured entries provide detailed information on pathogenesis, clinical features, and diagnostic and therapeutic principles for each condition. Neurological examinations, technical investigations and neuropharmacological data are included. Each entry is written by a leading expert in that particular field and comprises up-to-date information, critically reviewed by the editors. This clinically oriented reference work will be a valuable resource for neurologists, pediatricians, child neurologists and physicians in developmental medicine. See more
