Produktbeschreibung

This book offers a clinical and surgical overview on congenital brain malformations, which are abnormalities that occur during fetal development, leading to brain defects and disorders. The fetal brain begins to develop shortly after conception and continues to grow throughout pregnancy. This book covers the various congenital brain malformations, their aetiologies and development, diagnosis and management including possible surgical interventions and details of these procedures.

Since many of these disorders are rare, they do not have a final cure and their management is important - their consequences on the physical, psychological and developmental condition of the patient are great. This book is of interest to pediatric surgeons and neurologists.
