This exhaustive text covers all aspects of diagnosis and endovascular treatment of neurological and neurosurgical diseases of the pediatric central nervous system starting from their in utero expression.

It also includes the vascular malformations of each district and their endovascular treatment.

Besides the 'normal' imaging techniques the advanced techniques (spectroscopy, diffusion, perfusion, and functional imaging) are covered in detail.

Several topics that are often only superficially dealt with in other books are herewith covered in outstanding detail.

The volume is richly illustrated with high-quality neuroradiological images, with pathological correlation where applicable.

The rich analytic index makes it an easily usable tool in the everyday clinical practice.

The book serves both as a reference for specialists (neuroradiologists, radiologists, neurosurgeons, neurologists, pediatricians) and as a teaching text for residents and fellows-in-training.
