Impairments in the interaction between the central nervous system and the
endocrine system can lead to a number of disorders in children. These include
type 1 diabetes, growth disorders, adrenal thyroid and pituitary problems,
Addison's disease and Cushing syndrome, among others.
Neuroendocrine Disorders in Children provides a comprehensive examination of
paediatric and adolescent disorders focusing on the basic science and its
clinical relevance. Complex issues are discussed in an easy-to-follow manner and
the latest developments in the area are reviewed.
This volume will become invaluable reading for paediatric endocrinologists,
paediatric and adult neurologists and trainee paediatricians.
