This is a complex field with multitude of different disorders characterized by a variety of clinical manifestations, complex molecular biology, and a long list of potential investigations. As a result, this is often confusing and difficult area for non-specialists resulting in delays in reaching the diagnosis. Reaching a specific diagnosis is of clear importance for providing appropriate therapy, prognosis, and genetic counseling. This paper is intended to provide a simplified practical approach to guide residents and generalists in the initial diagnostic evaluation of children with suspected NDD. Emphasis is placed on useful clinical signs, diagnostic tips, potential pitfalls, and recent advances in therapy.  ISSN : 0930-2794  Journal Name : Neurosciences Journal  Volume : 1  Issue Number : 7  Publishing Year : 2002 AH 2002 AD  Article Type : Article  Added Date : Saturday, March 13, 2010  Researchers Researcher Name (Arabic) Researcher Name (English) Researcher Type Dr Grade Email محمد جان jan, Mohammed Researcher Doctorate   Files File Name Type Description  25932.doc doc   Back To Researches Page
