Features practical road maps for most clinical scenarios.
Covers the rapidly developing fields of cranial imaging and genetic testing.
Extra coverage of tropical diseases such as Zika virus infection, malaria, and immune-mediated encephalitis.
Additional links to videos and other online resources.
Readership

This book will be useful for paediatric neurologists, paediatricians and other health professionals involved in the care of children with neurological problems. The emphasis on clinical assessment and inclusion of some tropical diseases renders the book relevant to all regions of the world including those where resources for health care are limited.

From the Foreword

“The book provides the reader with important tools to improve both technical and ethical aspects of acute and long-term care of the child.”
