Pediatric Neurology: Clinical and Imaging Case Studies is a richly illustrated, case-based resource that explores the complementary roles of neurology and radiology for patient diagnosis and treatment. This unique volume is authored by world-class child neurologists and pediatric neuroradiologists who demonstrate the essential role of interdisciplinary collaboration in clinical care. Expert-selected cases comprise this valuable educational tool and reference text for diverse audiences including primary care physicians, neurologists, neurosurgeons, and neuroradiologists.
- Provides case-based teaching organized by disease type, with multiple conditions discussed in each section
- Introduces each disease as an unknown, progresses through the patient workup, and ends with the final diagnosis
- Highlights clinical and imaging pearls, pitfalls, and differential diagnoses for every case
- Emphasizes guidelines for radiologic interpretation across a diverse array of pediatric neurologic disorders
- Over 1,000 images represent the collective knowledge and expertise of internationally recognized neurologists and neuroradiologists
- An eBook version is included with purchase. The eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures and references, with the ability to search, customize your content, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud.
