The review extracted data regarding post-neonatal epilepsy, cerebral palsy, intellectual disability, developmental delay, and mortality during and after the neonatal period.

This volume is based on a highly successful conference dedicated to perinatal brain damage. It covers pathogenic aspects of brain lesions occurring in the fetal and neonatal period, addressing diagnostic workup and treatment. Topics include recent clinical advances, neurological vulnerability of the preterm infant, ethical aspects, cerebral white matter, cerebral visual impairment, motor development, cognitive function, neuronal plasticity, and concepts of neuroprotection based on pharmacological agents.

A medical reference guide focusing on the diagnosis, management, and treatment of common neurological disorders encountered in general paediatric practice.

The second edition of this volume in the Oxford Specialist Handbooks series, covering key aspects of Paediatric Neurology. It is targeted at specialists and advanced trainees in the field.
