Description

"This book, authored by a specialist in cerebrovascular disease and a pediatric neurologist, leads the clinical neurologist through the diagnosis of stroke in a child or young adult, then recommends appropriate treatment. These authors combine their expertise to address the many special challenges that stroke in a developing central nervous system presents, including the smaller, immature vasculature and neural network, and higher risk of infection." - "Saudi Medical Journal", February 1995.
