DESCRIPTION: Cerebral palsy poses multiple diagnostic and therapeutic dilemmas. It is not only a medical and scientific issue, but also one with many social, ethical, and economic implications.
With many contributions from top European specialists, this book begins with chapters on the history and terminology, classification, incidence and prevalence, etiology, and neuropathology of cerebral palsy. Then diagnosis is covered with extensive chapters on the clinical characteristics of CP, differential diagnosis, and assessing with ultrasound, MRI, and nuclear/molecular imaging. Finally, detailed chapters provide comprehensive information on the newest treatment modalities for CP, including treatment with botulinum toxin, dorsal rhizotomy, intrathecal pharmacotherapy, stereotactic operations, and more. The book closes with chapters considering the psychological and psychosocial aspects of the condition.
With its strong interdisciplinary foundation, this book is certain to be a valuable addition to the library of pediatricians, neurologists, and others who may be involved in the care of patients with cerebral palsy.

DESCRIPTION: Neurocutaneous syndromes and hemangiomas encompass a substantial number of congenital or hereditary disorders, and present themselves through variable clinical features. Though often complex and multi-systemic, these disorders can mostly be diagnosed by simple visual inspections and strong clinical expertise.
The purpose of this book was to compile in a single volume a comprehensive review of the historical perspective, the clinical features, the current knowledge concerning the pathogenesis of each disease, and the diagnostic and therapeutic strategies associated with these challenging disorders. In particular, there is a strong emphasis throughout on the biochemical, molecular, and genetic basis of these syndromes.
The international editorial team have drawn upon contributions from colleagues, and from fully referenced information from thousands of articles and abstracts from over 600 publications, thus providing the reader with an outstanding resource for the diagnosis and treatment of neurocutaneous disorders. This book will prove to be an invaluable reference work for all practising and trainee neurologists, paediatricians, dermatologists, pathologists and haematologists.
