COMMON NEUROSURGICAL CONDITIONS IN THE PEDIATRI...

This unique title is designed to illustrate and foster how a closer working relationship
between pediatricians and subspecialists can make childhood medicine work more seamlessly.
Despite the common lack of training for pediatricians in pediatric neurosurgery  they are
challenged almost daily with caring for children with neurologic conditions. Common
Neurological Conditions in the Pediatric Practice is replete with a wide range of instructional
case vignettes and is organized into sections that loosely approximate the neurologic
development of a child and address issues that are commonly encountered. The first section
reviews neurologic development and birth related trauma commonly seen in the neonatal intensive
care unit. The second part addresses findings commonly encountered by a pediatrician in a
child's first month of life. The third section is a comprehensive review of hydrocephalus. Part
four describes state of the art imaging techniques for the central nervous system in children 
from pre-natal ultrasound through MRI and CT  and the fifth part consists of individual
explorations of common neurosurgical conditions that many pediatricians are uncomfortable
managing  including brain tumors  spasticity  and vascular lesions to use as a reference tool
when caring for a complex neurosurgical patient. Finally a series of chapters related to head
trauma  including sections on non-accidental trauma and concussion management  completes the
text.
