Description

Inherited Metabolic Diseases and the Brain explores the latest research on the neurological aspects of inherited metabolic diseases such as epilepsy, encephalotomy and more. With a strong research driven foundation and clinical applications, this book provides a primer which will help practicing pediatric and adult neurologists recognize, diagnose and treat neurometabolic disorders. This volume will also present a number of more common disorders in more detail, describing the variability in clinical presentation, the life course of the disease and the intricacies of diagnosis and treatment.
