Diseases of the Nervous System in Childhood 3rd Edition PDF
Edited by Jean Aicardi, Martin Bax, Christopher Gillberg
Part of the Clinics in Developmental Medicine series
Description
"Diseases of the nervous system in infancy and childhood have a profound impact on the lives of patients and their families and are probably the most disruptive of all paediatric ailments. Aicardi's Diseases of the Nervous System in Childhood is thus the essential resource for child neurologists, neurologists, paediatricians, and physicians in developmental medicine. The third edition has been extensively updated to incorporate the tremendous volume of new information since the previous edition, but remains as clinically oriented as its predecessors. Because of the enormous and wide-ranging amount of new material available, Aicardi and his co-editors have been joined by an eminent team of international experts who have contributed many of the chapters.
