This is the second edition of the manual describing a popular and
practical tool for the clinical neurological examination of the newborn.
In addition to a number of developments on the original scheme in the
light of clinical and research experience, this edition also facilitates
the recording and performance of the examination by providing clear
information on its administration, aided by illustrative diagrams. A new
feature is the inclusion of scoring tables at the back of the book.
Other sections include a simplified version of the examination suited to
inexperienced staff, applicable both for screening and for use in
developing countries, and a revised proforma which may be used for the
follow-up of infants beyond the neonatal period. There is also a new
section describing clinical patterns in newborns with brain lesions and
their correlation with imaging and neurological findings.
