Editorial Reviews
Review
"This book provides a thorough overview of the principles and practice involved in managing infants who have suffered brain injury during the foetal or neonatal period. It is well written and presented. It provides detailed chapters on a range of subjects, which means it will act as a thorough reference text book; but it is also readable - I enjoyed reading many of the chapters in their entirety. Now in its third edition, the information is right up to date and has been written by contributors with outstanding credentials in their field." Pediatric Rehabilitation
"It will make ideal reading for any obstetrician, midwife, neonatologist or scientist who wished to bring themselves up to date with modern thoughts about the causation, prevention and management of perinatally acquired brain injury." The Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

Book Description
Now in its third edition, this is a comprehensive survey of fetal and neonatal brain injury arising from hypoxia, ischemia or other causes. The volume spans a broad range of areas from epidemiology and pathogenesis, through to clinical manifestations and obstetric care, and then on to diagnosis, long-term outcomes, and medico-legal aspects. An important theme running throughout is to highlight scientific and clinical advances that have a role to play in minimising risk, improving clinical care and outcomes.
