Mac Keith Press Practical Guides: Principles and Practice of Child Neurology in Infancy

More about the book

This handbook of neurological practice in infants aims to be a practical resource for clinicians, especially in under-resourced areas where 70% of children with disabilities reside and most have neurological impairments. It offers recommendations for investigations and treatments based on internationally accepted practices suitable for various settings. The content is organized into two parts: Principles and Clinical Settings, with the latter focusing on a symptom-based approach. Contributors present their chapters in an accessible, didactic style, ensuring a consistent organization of material. The emphasis is on clinical methods, appropriate investigations and treatments, while avoiding unnecessary or harmful interventions. Each chapter includes boxes that highlight key messages, common errors, and warning signs for quick reference, making the book a handy guide. It is intended for all caregivers of children with neurological issues, including pediatric neurologists, neonatologists, general pediatricians, community pediatricians, specialists in neurodisability, pediatric rehabilitation, epilepsy, and final-year medical students. Specialist nurses will also find valuable information within its pages.
