About this title

Review

"This is easy to read, particularly because of the vignettes...These cases underscore the authors′ contention that the history and examination (sometime over multiple visits) with appropriate use and interpretation of investigations should remain the cornerstone of pediatric neurology." ( Doody′s Book Review, Feb. 2010 )

"I strongly recommend this book, not only to have as a reference in clinical work but also to read it. Why is this book so fascinating to read? I strongly feel there is a need to over and over again regain clinical knowledge, sound judgment and understanding. And to appreciate the invaluable importance of history taking, clinical examination and afterthought before ordering tests." (Acta Paediatrica, 2010)
