Description
Pediatricians often use the book as the first reference before presenting a neurological case. Based on feedback from residents, we have included several new chapters. We hope this edition helps postgraduate students and practicing pediatricians approach clinical cases in pediatric neurology. This edition comes up with a detailed chapter on Neurological Examination. It covers all components of neurological examination in a simple language. The chapter on developmental history and examination is a new addition in this edition, considering its importance in exam case presentation and day-to-day practice. Approach to a Child with Macrocephaly and Microcephaly, Vision Loss, and Hearing Loss are new chapters that make this edition more appealing. Cerebral palsy is the most common case presentation in the examinations, so a chapter on the Approach to a Child with Cerebral Palsy has been added to this edition. The chapter on Case of Paraplegia has been expanded with a more detailed discussion. All other chapters have been updated based on recent developments in pediatric neurology.
