Cerebral palsy poses multiple diagnostic and therapeutic dilemmas. It is not only a medical and scientific issue, but also one with many social, ethical, and economic implications. With many contributions from top European specialists, this book begins with chapters on the history and terminology, classification, incidence and prevalence, etiology, and neuropathology of cerebral palsy. Then diagnosis is covered with extensive chapters on the clinical characteristics of CP, differential diagnosis, and assessing with ultrasound, MRI, and nuclear/molecular imaging. Finally, detailed chapters provide comprehensive information on the newest treatment modalities for CP, including treatment with botulinum toxin, dorsal rhizotomy, intrathecal pharmacotherapy, stereotactic operations, and more. The book closes with chapters considering the psychological and psychosocial aspects of the condition. With its strong interdisciplinary foundation, this book is certain to be a valuable addition to the library of pediatricians, neurologists, and others who may be involved in the care of patients with cerebral palsy.
This publication manifests that pediatric neurology nowadays has developed into a completely independent discipline within the field of neurology. Bearing this in mind, the book presents the most recent advances on many different aspects of child neurology. Contributions from well-known scientists from all over the world make this volume timely reading for all those involved in pediatric neurology and gives vital pointers to the future of this increasingly specialized field of study.
Covers the complete spectrum of paediatric neurology, which has become increasingly more complex in recent years. It is written by 69 experts from all over the world, each one of them leading authorities in their specialized field.

Seven years have passed since the release of the third edition. The rapidly expanding knowledge in the diagnosis and evidence-based treatment of cerebral palsy (CP)—a condition resulting from fetal and early infant brain damage, characterized by lifelong disabilities with diverse clinical presentations—has encouraged a comprehensive update to the previous edition. This new edition is enriched by the addition of chapters on antenatal factors, genetics, ultrasound, comorbidities, and long-term prognosis. It places special emphasis on the neurodevelopmental examination of the newborn, epilepsy in children and adults with CP, the transition of young adults with CP, and orthopedic care for adults with the condition. Contributions from new distinguished authors worldwide, alongside many contributors from the third edition, have brought sharper insights and enhanced perspectives to this updated version of the book.
This third edition systematically reviews recent developments in the diagnosis and evidence-based treatment of cerebral palsy, a consequence of foetal and early infant brain damage resulting in lifelong disabilities with a range of clinical characteristics. The first part discusses the definition, aetiology, classification, imaging and neuropathology, while the second focuses on the management of the individual challenges that children with cerebral palsy face, such as spasticity, dyskinesia, feeding problems and scoliosis. Based on the diverse characteristics of cerebral palsy, children require care from various specialists, including neuro-paediatricians, orthopaedists, psychologists, epidemiologists, physiotherapists and occupational therapists. This work was written by an international team of such specialists, providing a comprehensive mix of perspectives and expertise.
