Description
Anshan Ltd Neurocutaneous Disorders - Hemangomas A Clinical And Diagnostic Approach by Ramis Benjamin
Neurocutaneous syndromes and hemangomas encompass a substantial number of congenital or hereditary disorders, and present themselves through variable clinical features. Though often complex and multi-systemic, these disorders can mostly be diagnosed by simple visual inspections and strong clinical expertise. The purpose of this book was to compile in a single volume a comprehensive review of the historical perspective, the clinical features, the current knowledge concerning the pathogenesis of each disease, and the diagnostic and therapeutic strategies associated with these challenging disorders. In particular, there is a strong emphasis throughout on the biochemical, molecular, and genetic basis of these syndromes. The international editorial team have drawn upon contributions from colleagues, and from fully referenced information from thousands of articles and abstracts from over 600 publications, thus providing the reader with an outstanding resource for the diagnosis and treatment of neurocutaneous disorders._x000D_ _x000D_
