This book on pediatric neurology is geared toward educating the primary care providers
on how to approach a child with neurological signs and symptoms in their general practice.
It emphasizes the importance of being able to recognize these situations and manage
them appropriately, as it is not uncommon to have a large time gap between the primary
visit and specialty clinic visit. The book gives a great synopsis of the more commonly
seen disorders in an out-patient setting and teaches the reader the clinical skills,
and gives a comprehensive review on diagnosis and management of such clinical situations.
In the initial few pages, the book stresses the importance of not ordering expensive
and invasive tests that can otherwise be avoided. It also emphasizes the importance
of reassuring the family of the child that is affected. The first chapter is a great
summary of Neuroanatomy and Physiology. The section on physical exam is a great asset
to the reader, because this part of the visit can be very useful in establishing differential
diagnoses and managing that particular clinical situation.
