Download Aicardi’s Diseases of the Nervous System in Childhood PDF 4th Edition

Aicardi’s Diseases of the Nervous System in Childhood is a comprehensive book that covers all aspects of the subject. It is an essential reference for both practicing neurologists and pediatricians, and for residents and fellows in training. The text is divided into five parts: principles of diagnosis, specific diseases, disorders of the developing nervous system, inherited metabolic diseases of the nervous system, and tumors of the nervous system.

Congenital or early-onset disorders of the nervous system have a profound and lifelong impact on the lives of children and their families.  Diseases of the Nervous System in Childhood provides up-to-date information on the full range of these neurological disorders, from fetal and neonatal neurology to adolescence.

Movement disorders, epilepsies and seizure disorders, metabolic diseases, auditory and visual disorders, and genetic anomalies are among the many topics covered in this text.  Extensive reference lists at the end of each chapter guide the clinician to further relevant reading.

This fourth edition retains the patient-focussed, clinical approach of its predecessors. The international team of editors and contributors has honoured the request of the late Jean Aicardi, that his book remain ‘resolutely clinical’, which distinguishes Diseases of the Nervous System in Childhood from other texts in the field.
