Intended as a quick reference guide to the better known and some less familiar syndromes of neurological interest and developed by a renowned pediatric neurologist with more than 40 years experience in treating children, adolescents, and young adults, this handy title provides a definition of each syndrome that includes diagnostic characteristics and abnormalities, a differential diagnosis, genetic considerations, and a short list of references.

From the reviews:
"This compendium offers a fairly comprehensive list of adult and pediatric neurological syndromes alphabetically organized. ... the book is likely intended for practitioners of both pediatric and adult neurology. The author is a pediatric neurologist. ... One would be hard pressed to find a single book covering the breadth of pathology presented here. The book is useful for its intended purpose -- referencing syndromes." (Julia B. Whitlock, Doody´s Book Reviews, January, 2014)
