Abstract

This chapter covers a varied group of disorders that develop as a consequence of genetic abnormalities, infections, ischemia, or uncertain etiology. All lead to abnormal development of the nervous system. Some disorders have been selected because of the challenge they pose in diagnosis and management, and others because they illustrate important concepts in neurodevelopment or pathophysiology.
