Fetal and Neonatal Brain Injury, 5th Edition

Improvements in the detection of fetal and neonatal brain injuries, advances in our understanding of the pathophysiology, cellular and molecular bases of encephalopathy and new treatment options have all combined to produce significant changes in the management of neonatal brain disorders in the past few years. This new edition of Fetal and Neonatal Brain Injury brings the reader fully up to date with all advances in clinical management and outcome assessment. Updated material includes inflammation focusing in particular on chorioamnionitis and fetal brain injury, genetic brain injury and expanded sections on cholestasis, diabetes and thyroid disease. An updated, highly illustrated chapter on structural and functional imaging of the fetal and neonatal brain is also included. An outstanding international team of highly experienced neonatologists and maternal-fetal medicine clinicians have produced a practical, authoritative clinical text that gives clear management advice to all clinicians involved in the treatment of these patients.

• A multidisciplinary perspective on clinical management is provided by editors and contributors from all relevant medical specialities
• Emphasis on outcomes enables clinicians to anticipate the long-term impact of brain injury on the patient
• An increased section on diagnosis with emphasis on imaging allows for earlier detection of brain injuries
