Description
This very readable book focuses on the most frequently encountered paediatric neurological disorders, both acute and chronic. It is aimed at paediatricians, physiotherapists, speech therapists and occupational therapists.
Common conditions such as learning disorders, epilepsy, cerebral palsy and migraine are fully discussed, but many rarer conditions and those which raise particular management problems are also included. Detailed knowledge of the more unusual disorders can be left to the specialist paediatric neurologist, but everyone involved in the care of children needs to know about their existence and what this may imply. A wealth of relevant, clinical information is presented in an accessible style, and
photographs are used to show distinguishing features of different conditions. This book is for paediatricians, both those working in hospitals and in the community, and for those in training; for physiotherapists, speech therapists, psychologists and
teachers and all those who wish to understand the basics of how neurological disease affects the children with whom they are working.
