Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

A comprehensive clinical reference for understanding, evaluating, and managing neurologic disorders in infants, children, and adolescents.Pediatric Neurology in Clinical Practice provides a structured approach to pediatric neurologic assessment, diagnostic reasoning, neurodevelopment, seizure disorders, and complex neurologic disease management. Designed for physicians, trainees, advanced practice clinicians, nurses, rehabilitation professionals, and healthcare learners, this manual connects neurologic examination findings with localization, diagnostic testing, treatment principles, rehabilitation, and long-term patient-centered care.This clinically focused resource explores essential topics including: - Pediatric neurologic examination and neuroanatomic localization- Developmental assessment, developmental delay, autism, intellectual disability, and regression- Neonatal neurologic disorders and early-life neurologic emergencies- EEG interpretation, seizure classification, epilepsy management, and status epilepticus- Pediatric headache, migraine, syncope, and episodic neurologic events- Cerebral palsy, tone abnormalities, gait disorders, and movement impairment- Neuromuscular disorders, weakness, respiratory involvement, and motor-unit localization- Genetic, metabolic, mitochondrial, and neurodegenerative neurologic conditions- CNS infections, encephalitis, autoimmune neurology, and demyelinating disease- Pediatric stroke, vascular disorders, concussion, and traumatic brain injury- Hydrocephalus, structural CNS disorders, and pediatric neuro-oncology- Tics, dystonia, chorea, tremor, ataxia, sleep disorders, and functional neurologic symptoms- Rehabilitation planning, assistive technology, school participation, family support, and transition to adult neurologic careThroughout the book, readers will find practical clinical frameworks, case-based learning, quick-reference tools, diagnostic strategies, and evidence-informed approaches designed to improve recognition and management of pediatric neurologic conditions.Rather than approaching pediatric neurology as a list of isolated diseases, this manual emphasizes a consistent clinical method: Describe the neurologic problem.Recognize developmental context.Localize the dysfunction.Identify urgent warning signs.Choose targeted investigations.Protect function and quality of life.Written for healthcare professionals seeking a practical and comprehensive pediatric neurology resource, Pediatric Neurology in Clinical Practice serves as a valuable reference for clinical training, bedside decision-making, and lifelong learning.Recommended
