Abstract:
At the completion of the general phase of neurological training, the child neurologist cannot be expected to have at the fingertips a comprehensive knowledge of the broad field and complex field of neurocutaneous disorders. The curiosity to seek out neurocutaneous features, especially where they may be relevant to a problem upon which a patient or family is consulting, is to be expected. So is acquaintance with clinical findings and neurological manifestations of certain conditions that assume particular importance because of they are particularly prevlaent or particularly serious.
