This handbook covers developmental medicine and child neurology in a clear and succinct style. It helps both trainees and experienced generalists towards an orderly approach to assessment, investigation and management and is a readily accessible source and practical guide for every day situations. It will be a useful companion for general paediatricians, neurodevelopmental paediatricians and paediatric neurologists no matter what level of experience. For those in training it helps order the approach, structure the consultation, shape the history and elicit the signs and then deduce what they mean. The book reflects real life situations and helps in the complexity of ward consultations in specialist hospitals and the emergencies of the intensive care unit; there is also important reference material for the experienced neurologist dealing with the paediatric patient. Written in a succinct and practical style the handbook covers common and rare situations and uses diagrams and tables to further illustrate key points.
