Leading international authorities in childhood neurology present a critical new appraisal of a childhood condition that has intrigued pediatric neurologists worldwide. An outstanding roster of specialists sheds new light on alternating hemiplegia of childhood (AHC), providing vital new links in our understanding of this baffling disorder in the areas of diagnosis and treatment. The book begins with an historical perspective on AHC, and continues with clinical findings and diagnostic criteria for the condition. Subsequent chapters examine the natural history and occurrence of the disorder in different patient populations; report on epilepsy and electrographic investigations, metabolic studies, sleep studies, and genetic findings; and explore treatments such as flunarizine, haloperidol, and rectal chloral hydrate. Other chapters address imaging procedures in children with alternating hemiplegia and discuss the latest findings on the relationship of migraine to the disorder.
