Congenital Diseases and Syndromes: An Illustrated Radiological Guide

Congenital Diseases and Syndromes: An Illustrated Radiological Guide





This
book is designed to serve the radiologist as an easy-to-use visual
guide that illustrates the typical diagnostic radiological features of
the most common congenital diseases and syndromes. Chapters are
organised according to body system, and focus on the CNS, the head and
neck, the chest and heart, the abdomen and pelvis, and the
musculoskeletal system. A final chapter is devoted to phacomatoses.
Each syndrome or disease is illustrated by multiple images as well as
by high-quality digital medical illustrations depicting those
radiological signs that are difficult to detect. The reader is thereby
familiarised with the various congenital anomalies from the
radiological point of view. In addition, etiology, diagnostic criteria,
and main symptoms are described, and potential differential diagnoses
highlighted. This book will be immensely useful for junior
radiologists, radiology students, and doctors in any specialty who are
interested in congenital malformations and syndromes.
