Description: The text covers neuropediatric pathologies starting from their in utero expression. The three sections (Brain, Head and Neck, and Spine) are opened by introductory chapters on the embryology of the various compartments, allowing a better understanding of the related malformations, and also contain chapters on the prenatal ultrasound and MRI diagnosis of the various conditions. Each section also includes a chapter dedicated to the vascular malformations of each district and their endovascular treatment. The vast body of clinical and genetic information makes this book valuable also for pediatric field clinicians wanting to increase their knowledge in the neurological field. The rich analytic index makes it an easily usable tool in the everyday clinical practice.
