Neurocutaneous Disorders Haemangiomas A Clinical and Diagnostic Approach

Neurocutaneous syndromes and hemangiomas encompass a substantial number of cogential or hereditary disorders, and present themselve through variable clinical features. Though often complex and multi-systemic, these disorders can mostly be diagnosed by simple visual inspections and strong clinical expertise. The purpose of this book was to compile in a single volume a comprehensive review of the historical perspective, the clinical features, the current knowledge concerning the pathogenesis of each disease, and the diagnostic and therapeutic strategies associated with these challenging disorders. In particular, there is a strong emphasis throughout on the biochemical, molecular, and genetic basis of these syndromes. The international editorial team have drawn upon contributors from colleagues, and from fully referenced information from thousands of articles and abstracts from over 600 publications, thus providing the reader with an outstanding resource for the diagnosis and treatment of neurocutaneous disorders. Thsi book will prove to be an invaluable reference work for all practising and trainee neurologists, paediatricians, dermatologists, pathologists and haematologists.
