A Colour Atlas of Brain Disorders in the Newborn

An illustrated reference guide covering clinical features, ultrasound, CT and MRI, neurophysiology and pathology for the diagnosis of brain lesions in newborn babies.

---

Premature babies make up 5-7% of the number of babies born; of these, 40% have haemorrhagic or ischaemic brain lesions (in full-term babies there is an incidence of around 5%). This illustrated reference guide covers clinical features, ultrasound, CT and MRI, neurophysiology and pathology for the diagnosis of brain lesions in newborn babies. The work is aimed at neonatalogists, paediatricians, obstetricians and paediatric neurologist s.
