Clearly structured, each chapter describes: * clinical features and laboratory investigations * pathology * pathogenetic considerations * therapy * case presentation * MRI and spectroscopy of a specific myelin disorder Completely updated and expanded by 20 chapters to include the latest information on: - inborn errors of metabolism and neurodegenerative disorders - the role of subcellular structures - enzyme biochemistry - the pathophysiological mechanisms of posthypoxic-ischemic cerebral damage - inflammatory and infectious disorders Plus: Greater coverage of the genetic and pathophysiological mechanisms underlying white matter disorders. Finally: 250 high-quality illustrations depict rare disorders which previously were only described.
