Clinical Approach to Pediatric Neurology, 2nd Edition, takes a symptom-first, case-based route through the neurological problems children present with most often in the clinic and on the wards - seizures, encephalopathy, developmental delay, neuroregression, movement disorders, ataxia, neuromuscular weakness, vision loss, and hearing loss. The book opens with the fundamentals of clinical neuroanatomy, developmental and CNS examination, neuroimaging, neurophysiology, CSF/tissue diagnosis, and genetic evaluation, before moving into 14 symptom-based diagnostic-approach chapters. A dedicated Residents' Corner works through 9 exam-style cases - cerebral palsy, tubercular meningitis, acute hemiplegia, paraplegia, Guillain-Barre syndrome, floppy infant, muscular dystrophy, neurodegenerative disorder, and hydrocephalus - built around Practical Boxes that model exact history, examination, and case-presentation answers. A closing section on therapeutic dilemmas covers antiseizure medications, status epilepticus, CNS infections, raised intracranial pressure, acute stroke, and neuromuscular disease management. This 2nd edition is written in simple, exam-ready language and is structured around differential-diagnosis tables that set out points for and against each diagnosis, grading scales such as the Modified Ashworth Scale, and classification systems including GMFCS and MACS, alongside extensive figures, tables, and flowcharts.
