Main description:

At last, a much-needed route map to pediatric neuropathology. Up to now a comprehensive volume covering of pediatric neuropathology simply did not exist. This atlas is thus a unique, all-encompassing reference providing material on the fundamentals of brain disorders of the nervous system that can affect fetuses, infants and young children, as well as the essentials of diagnosis in developmental brain pathology and neuroimaging. Emphasising the characteristic morphology and a concise summary of clinical features, pathogenesis, and genetics, the generously illustrated atlas presents more than 100 disorders. This compilation is a valuable resource for pathologists, pediatric neurologists and neurosurgeons, geneticists, neonatologists, radiologists, and pediatricians.
