Description: Devoted exclusively to the neurophysiology of children. It includes comprehensive information on electroencephalography (EEG), electromyography (EMG), nerve conduction studies (NCS), and evoked potentials (EP). Written by a stellar group of recognized authorities, this text is essential for pediatric neurologists and general neurologists who perform and interpret neurophysiologic tests on children. Contains practical guides on interpreting neonatal and pediatric EEGs Includes a discussion of pediatric sleep disorders. Covers the use of magnetoencephalogrphy in localization of cerebral function in children, intracranial EEG monitoring in the evaluation of children with medically intractable epilepsy, neurophysiology of language and behavioral disorders in children, intraopearative evoked potentials and the interrelation of DNA analysis with clinical neurophysiology in the diagnosis of chronic neuromuscular disorders of childhood.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index.
