Y1 - 2011 N1 - T2 - Rudolph's Pediatrics, 22e AB - This introductory section on pediatric neurology provides a clinically oriented guide to the evaluation of a child with suspected neurologic dysfunction. First we review a basic clinical approach and then we tackle specific neurologic presentations. We attempt to provide a broad framework that will help clinicians begin a thoughtful, focused workup of a child suspected of having a neurologic problem. After review of a basic approach, our discussions are organized around common neurologic presentations and physical findings. This section is not intended to be a comprehensive review of all neurologic disorders; instead, it should be used a starting point. The later sections of this chapter provide further detail about the pathophysiology, diagnoses, and management of these disorders. For reviews of the neurologic examination of infants and children, we refer the reader to Chapter 44 and the monographs and chapters by Dodge and Volpe referenced at the end of this chapter.1,2 SN - PB - The McGraw-Hill Companies CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/03/28 UR - accesspediatrics.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=7056280 ER -
