Description

This book of “Principles and Practice of Child Neurology in Infancy” includes all neurological problems in infancy. It sets out in a succinct format the principles of working with families, of clinical assessment, of the use of investigations and treatments, and of evidence-based medicine. The book provides detailed guidance on the practice of child neurology in infancy. The contributors have approached their chapters using an accessible, didactic style and consistent organization of material. The emphasis throughout is on clinical methods, the use of appropriate investigations and treatments, and the avoidance of unnecessary or potentially harmful interventions. The book is designed to be carried round as a handy reference. This book presents recommendations for investigations and treatments based on internationally accepted good practice that can be implemented in most settings. This new book is a timely and much-needed addition to the current array of available resources for the pediatric neurologist and for trainees and practitioners in pediatric neurology and related disciplines.
