Handbook of Pediatric Neurology

Pediatric neurology presents so many challenges unique to young patients that it is in many ways a very different discipline from adult neurology. To help readers address these challenges, the Handbook of Pediatric Neurology uses a handy pocket format and streamlined organization to address the management of hospital - and clinic-based pediatric neurological work-up, diagnosis, and management. This practical handbook will appeal not only to pediatric neurologists, but also to pediatricians, adult neurologists and internal medicine physicians. Features include: timely coverage that helps readers keep pace with the rapidly changing diagnostic tools, medications, and interventions; summary and outline format that allows readers to access essential facts at a glance; practical organization that presents each category of disorder, along with a focused differential diagnosis and clear management guidelines; and references that provide guides to further investigation.
