Since 1975, Dr. Kenneth Swaiman's classic text has been the
reference of choice for authoritative guidance in pediatric
neurology, and the 6th Edition continues this tradition of
excellence with thorough revisions that bring you fully up to date
with all that's new in the field. Five new sections, 62 new
chapters, 4 new editors, and a reconfigured format make this a
comprehensive and clearly-written resource for the experienced
clinician as well as the physician-in-training. Nearly 3,000 line
drawings, photographs, tables, and boxes highlight the text,
clarify key concepts, and make it easy to find information quickly.
