This classic text on paediatric neurology is now in its 4th edition. Leading academics from around the world present evidence from their various areas of expertise, placing it firmly in the clinical context. Each chapter covers the basic science of the disorder and relevant genetic advances. New to this edition are chapters on fetal neurology, movement disorders, basal ganglia disease and psychogenic disorders. References at the end of each chapter are thorough, guiding the clinician to relevant further reading. The international team of editors has maintained the clinical approach of the late Jean Aicardi, which distinguishes this book from others in the field. Succinctly given, patient-focused information makes Aicardi's Diseases of Nervous System in Childhood a comprehensive yet readable resource for busy clinicians in paediatric neurology, general paediatrics, neurodisability and all the related medical disciplines.

PRESENTAZIONE È per me un vero piacere presentare questa opera, frutto del lavoro di coordinamento e scrittura di Fernando Monteforte che ha coinvolto Colleghi di provata esperienza.Il tema è certamente interessante, in quanto riguarda uno dei più frequenti campi di interesse che il Radiologo incontra quotidianamente, ed è affrontato con chiarezza ma senza trascurare nulla: dall’anatomia radiologica alla bio-meccanica, e comprende tutta la gamma delle patologie della colonna vertebrale di più frequente riscontro.Il desiderio di divulgare lo “stato dell’arte” della diagnostica per immagini della colonna vertebrale si unisce alla volontà di non trascurare le più recenti acquisizioni: il tutto esposto con chiarezza e accompagnato da illustrazioni di indubbia qualità; il risultato è certamente utile non solo al Radiologo, per un doveroso aggiornamento, ma anche allo Specialista in formazione.Un’opera quindi che si colloca in linea con quanto fatto in precedenza, confermando la tendenza della Scuola Radiologica che ho avuto l’onore di dirigere per un certo periodo. UGO SALVOLINI   PREFAZIONE Questo testo è scaturito dall’idea di raccogliere in un unico volume le nozioni e le immagini radiologiche significative di anatomia, biomeccanica e della semeiotica radiologica della patologia vertebro-midollare. La patologia della colonna vertebrale, branca assai a#ascinante della medicina, ha avuto negli ultimi anni una spinta notevole, soprattutto grazie ai miglioramenti in campo diagnostico e terapeutico. La colonna vertebrale rappresenta, oggi, uno dei distretti anatomici maggiormente sottoposti a indagini di diagnostica per immagini.Il presente testo, corredato di numerose immagini e da una selezione significativa della più recente bibliografia, inizia con lo studio dell’anatomia vertebro-midollare e della biomeccanica vertebrale, conoscenze necessarie per la comprensione dei processi patologici, e consente, seguendo le poche ed essenziali regole della semeiotica radiologica, di arrivare anche a diagnosi differenzialicomplesse. Successivamente prosegue con lo studio del rachide degenerativo, del rachide neoplastico, del rachide e del midollo infiammatorio, del rachide infettivo, dei traumi vertebro-midollari e, infine, con un ultimo capitolo dedicato ad alcune condizioni para-fisiologiche e patologie rare. Ritengo che il testo sia utile ai medici specialisti in radiologia generale che si confrontano con la diagnostica neuroradiologica, agli specializzandi di radiodiagnostica, specie a quelli con orientamento neuroradiologico, e anche agli specialisti non radiologi, in particolare di neurochirurgia, neurologia, ortopedia e reumatologia.Per la realizzazione di questo libro devo ringraziare i Colleghi che hanno contribuito alla stesura dei diversi capitoli, mettendo a disposizione il loro tempo e la grande professionalità che li distingue, anzitutto Giancarlo Morciano, Cosma Andreula, Leo Spagnolo, Gabriele Polonara, Silvia Armenise e Maria Giovanna Danieli. Buona lettura! FERNANDO MONTEFORTE

This updated and expanded Fourth Edition is an alphabetical listing of commonly presenting neurological signs designed to guide the physician toward the correct clinical diagnosis. The dictionary is focused, problem-based and concise.  The structured entries in this practical, clinical resource provide summaries of a wide range of neurological signs. Each entry includes: a definition of the sign; a brief account of the clinical technique required to elicit the sign; a description of the other signs which may accompany the index sign; an explanation of pathophysiological and/or pharmacological background; differential diagnosis; brief treatment details; and where known, the neuroanatomical basis of the sign.  A Dictionary of Neurological Signs, Fourth Edition, is an indispensable reference for all students, trainees, and clinicians who care for patients with neurological disorders, and could also be used in preparation for exams, since each entry is a snapshot of a specific disorder or disease.

Neurovascular medicine has emerged as an established, semi-independent subspecialty of neurology and neurosurgery. Decision Making in Neurovascular Disease focuses on the challenging process of determining the best approach for managing patients with intracranial atherosclerosis, carotid artery disease, stroke, aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, arteriovenous fistulae, cavernous malformations, and hypervascular tumors. Leonardo Rangel-Castilla, Robert Spetzler, esteemed coauthors, and an impressive cadre of experts discuss highly divergent modalities including medical management, open cerebrovascular, endovascular, radiosurgery, and combined/multimodality alternatives. The book is organized into seven sections: Ischemic Stroke and Vascular Insufficiency, Aneurysms – Anterior Circulation, Aneurysms – Posterior Circulation, Aneurysms – Other, Arteriovenous Malformations and Fistula, Cavernous Malformations, and Hypervascular Tumors. Chapters include an introduction, decision-making algorithm, whether to treat, conservative management, anatomical considerations, clinical and imaging evaluation, differential diagnosis, treatment options, images, clinical and radiographic follow-up, and suggested reading. Key highlights Simple algorithms accompanying 71 chapters supported by the latest, most updated information in the literature More than 300 radiologic images help elucidate disease-specific treatment decision making Step-by-step guidance, clinical pearls, surgical nuances, complication avoidance, and evidence-based outcomes provide in-depth understanding Point/counterpoint expert commentary on each case provides balanced insights on potential implications of specific treatments   This essential step-by-step book is a must-have for residents and fellows in neurosurgery, neurology, endovascular, interventional radiology, vascular neurology, and neurocritical care, as well as veteran clinicians in these specialties.
