Neurological disorders in children are common: families want to
know what is wrong, why it happened, and whether it will happen
again. Management and treatment depend on establishing the
diagnosis, which usually requires investigations, but the number of
possible neurological investigations is now very large indeed, and
uncritical investigations may be seriously misleading and often
costly. This book, based on the authors' vast combined personal
experience, gives practical guidance on how to target any specific
condition with the minimum of tests.
Part 1 is a brief distillation of advice on clinical history and
examination, introducing the problems that beset those who deal
with neurological disorders in childhood. Part 2 outlines the
investigations available to solve these diagnostic problems. Part 3
takes a problem-oriented approach to the most appropriate
investigations in the various clinical scenarios that may present
to the practitioner: the starting point is the patient's
presentation, not the diagnosis. Throughout, vignettes of real
cases help to illustrate the use of the tests in different clinical
situations.
The authors co-wrote the hugely popular "Handbook of
Neurological Investigations" ("the Blue Book") 20 years ago. This
new book, while closely following the highly successful approach of
the earlier title, is thoroughly up to date, with fresh material,
new case vignettes, and additional investigations covered.
