Topic

Diseases of the nervous system in infancy and childhood have a profound impact on the life of patients and their families and are probably the most disruptive of all paediatric ailments. Neurological diseases account for a significant proportion of the serious paediatric diseases, as between 15 and 20 per cent of hospitalized children have a neurological problem.

The aim of the course: to give a comprehensive description of the main neurological diseases of children to permit diagnostic orientation, prognosis and management.
