Every day you are faced with difficult new cases of pediatric neurologic disease that are uncommon and very challenging. This new addition to the "DI" series - written by A. James Barkovich, MD, and many of the best-known names in pediatric neuroradiology - contains many quality images and a vast amount of information about many of the most common diagnoses (and many less common diagnoses) that are encountered in the imaging of children with neurological disorders. Its user-friendly format helps you to quickly find the diagnoses you are seeking and create a small list of differential diagnoses.
