| Summary |
This book provides a definitive reference work on the developing brain, from conception through the first year of life. Its purpose is to provide the range of specialists involved in the management of the fetus and the neonate with the latest information on the developmental neurology and pathology of the developing central nervous system, so that they can provide prompt and informed treatment of neurological disability - the most feared complication of pregnancy and the early months of the life of the newborn child. A cross-specialty book: brings together the work of specialists on the immature brain from the fields of obstetrics, paediatrics and neurosurgery. Highly illustrated: includes over 800 images and line drawings that capture the latest investigative techniques. Evidence-based information: extensively referenced with the latest and most important papers and articles. Medico-legal issues highlighted - in recognition of the role of specialists as expert witnesses. Covers the latest MR techniques: fast sequences for fetal brain imaging, DWI, tractography |
