Paediatric Neurology in Clinical General Practice

The general pediatrician faces an array of health conditions in clinical practice. This volume is intended to alleviate questions about one area the general pediatrician faces: common neurological problems. Emphasizing the issues that such a practitioner may face in everyday practice, rather than rare or unusual conditions, this book describes how to proceed with the clinical examination, diagnosis and management of neurological problems in children. It gives a general overview of a range of topics, such as fits, headaches and learning difficulties, and it also instructs the reader when to refer to a pediatric neurologist or other specialist. Every general pediatrician should have a copy.
