Treatment of Pediatric Neurologic Disorders PDF

Preface

The decision to pursue the challenge of producing a high quality text on treating disorders in child neurology was undertaken after much deliberation. In part, our ultimate motivation was based on both the need for such a book and a desire to include the expertise of individuals who have had a role in the child neurology program at the Johns Hopkins Hospital. It is, therefore, with great pleasure that we note that multiple chapters have been written by individuals, both faculty members and residents, with current or past ties to the program. The four editors, two senior faculty, one junior faculty, and a senior child neurology resident, have produced a text that we hope will be broadly acceptable to readers at all levels of experience. Lastly, we are proud to include a brief description of the history of the child neurology program at the Johns Hopkins University. We dedicate this book to the past leaders of the program, with special recognition to the first Director of the training program, Dr. John M. Freeman.
