Neurocutaneous Disorders: Phakomatoses & Hamartoneoplastic Syndromes (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9783211213964)

The book provides an authoritative source of knowledge about these problematic disorders. Aimed primarily at clinicians and graduate researchers, this essential text bridges the gap between clinical recognition and the new molecular medicine. The comprehensive coverage is essential reference material for clinicians as some of the more common entities have variable forms of expression that can confuse diagnoses, while for the rare conditions it is difficult to find descriptions in the literature. The editors, distinguished clinicians and geneticists, assembled an internationally renowned group of collaborators, many of them the very same experts who first described a particular disorder or established its present accepted definition. They have written a practical, comprehensive guide to the recognition, investigation and management of more than 60 recognised phakomatoses.
