Overview

This exhaustive text covers all aspects of diagnosis and endovascular treatment of neurological and neurosurgical diseases of the pediatric central nervous system. The book provides up-to-date references and is richly illustrated with high-quality neuroradiological images, with pathological correlation where applicable. The textbook serves both as a reference for specialists (neuroradiologists, radiologists, neurosurgeons, neurologists, pediatricians) and as a teaching text for residents and fellows-in-training.
