Features: Modern neuroimaging has greatly improved the reliability of diagnosis, but it has also somewhat reduced the clinical diagnostic skills of neurologists. A thorough history taking and direct physical examination remain the starting point for diagnosis, and in many cases, these alone can establish the diagnosis. Clinicians should spend most of their time on history taking. If, after listening to the history, you are still unsure of the condition, diagnostic tests may not provide enlightening help for the diagnosis. Among the diseases that need to be differentiated, there is one correct diagnosis and several incorrect ones. The purpose of this book is to provide feasible solutions for common problems in pediatric neurological diseases. The structure of this book remains the same as the previous editions because the clinical symptoms have not changed. Some chapters have been revised extensively, but in all chapters, readers will find new information.
