Neurocutaneous Syndromes provides the most updated and
comprehensive resource on the disorders that lead to the growth of
tumors in various parts of the body, those caused by the abnormal
development of cells in an embryo and characterized by the presence
of tumors in various parts of the body and eyes, including the
nervous system, and by certain differences in the skin. The most
common neurocutaneous syndromes include, neurofibromatosis,
Sturge-Weber syndrome, tuberous sclerosis, ataxia-telangiectasia,
and von Hippel-Lindau disease. Symptoms vary widely and while
present early may not express until later in life. As molecular
medicine and genetic science is continuing to impact our
understanding of neurocutaneous syndromes, this book also includes
the latest molecular and genetic science.
Manual of Pediatric Neurology is an easy-to-read and easy-to-access
text based on clinical scenarios. Emphasis is placed on signs and
symptoms, diagnostic tests as needed, and practical advice on
treatment for childhood neurologic disorders. The book comprises a
collection of chapters that address frequently encountered
pediatric scenarios in all clinical settings. These include the
management of seizures in the emergency department, treatment of
epilepsy in the outpatient setting, acute management of headaches
and many more. The book also covers topics juxtaposed to neurology
such as neonatal neurology, neurogenetics, and the management of
stroke in children. Special attention is placed on commonly
encountered neurological conditions such as Tourette' syndrome,
neuromuscular illnesses, and CNS infections. Interpretation of
frequently used tests such as EEG, CSF analysis, and nerve
conduction testing is also covered. Finally, one chapter is devoted
to the care of child neurology patients at the end of life, i.e.
palliative care.
Sturge-Weber syndrome is an enigmatic disorder, seldom difficult to
diagnose but often difficult to treat. This book consolidates what
is known about the Sturge-Weber syndrome in the hope that this
information will be useful in the care of patients and serve as a
stimulus to encourage research on some of the remaining questions
about the syndrome.This book is the 2nd Edition. The 1st Edition
was published in June 1999, ISBN-10: 0967048400; ISBN 13:
978-0967048406
