Y1 - 2019 N1 - T2 - CURRENT Diagnosis & Treatment: Neurology, 3e AB - It is sometimes said by adult practitioners that children are just small adults. Child neurologists recognize that adults are just large children, albeit with lesser potential. The knowledge of nervous system anatomy and physiology that is essential to accurate localization and diagnosis in adults must be complemented by a thorough understanding of the sequence and variability of normal development to attain the same goals in children. The challenge and promise of child neurology is that children have extraordinary potential for recovery and development in the face of insults that would devastate adults. They are subject to all of the groups of diseases that occur in adults, as well as many others that are unique to the developing brain. This chapter focuses on the essentials of the most prominent of these age-related encephalopathies.
