Mélanges Aicardi, Jean
Jean Aicardi Days, October 1995. These scientific days were organised in tribute to Jean Aicardi, the internationally recognised neuropaediatrician. His friends and colleagues, eminent specialists from all over the world, exchanged their experiences and latest data on infantile epilepsy, with particular emphasis on aspects including migraine and epilepsy, the environmental determinants of cerebral development and cognitive disorders.
Aicardi's Diseases of the Nervous System in Childhood
Congenital or early-onset disorders of the nervous system have a profound and lifelong impact on the lives of children and their families. Diseases of the Nervous System in Childhood provides up-to-date information on the full range of these neurological disorders, from fetal and neonatal neurology to adolescence. Movement disorders, epilepsies and seizure disorders, metabolic diseases, auditory and visual disorders, and genetic anomalies are among the many topics covered in this text. Extensive reference lists at the end of each chapter guide the clinician to further relevant reading. This fourth edition retains the patient-focussed, clinical approach of its predecessors. The international team of editors and contributors has honoured the request of the late Jean Aicardi, that his book remain ‘resolutely clinical’, which distinguishes Diseases of the Nervous System in Childhood from other texts in the field. This edition: Is completely revised and updated Includes latest developments in genetic advances Contains new chapters on basal ganglia diseases and psychogenic disorders Has an easy-to-use one volume format with full-colour illustrations
Aicardi's Epilepsy in Children
Every physician who treats children with epilepsy will welcome this new Third Edition of Dr. Aicardi's internationally acclaimed text. Now coauthored by three distinguished experts--Alexis Arzimanoglou, MD, Renzo Guerrini, MD, and Jean Aicardi, MD, FRCP--this edition has been completely revised to reflect the past ten years' advances in diagnosis and therapy. The book describes in detail the types of seizures occurring during infancy, childhood, and adolescence and explains the key principles of diagnosis, prognosis, and medical and surgical treatment. This edition provides up-to-the-minute information on anticonvulsant drugs and the genetics of epilepsy and includes a new chapter on epileptic encephalopathies.
Movement Disorders in Children
Book & DVD. This book covers a wide range of disease conditions that are characterised by involuntary movements possibly associated with signs of more diffuse dysfunction of the nervous system. These include both genetically determined and acquired conditions, running a clinical course that may be progressive, static, or paroxysmal. Recent years have witnessed growing interest in the movement disorders of children. There has been an increase in our understanding of the pathogenesis of these disorders, and new perspectives for their diagnosis and treatment have emerged. This book aims to provide neurologists, paediatricians, and specialists in developmental medicine with a comprehensive updat...

Aicardi Syndrome a.k.a. Callosal Agenesis: Definition, Etiology, Molecular Pathogenesis, Prevalence and more.
Aicardi Syndrome a.k.a. Callosal Agenesis: Definition, Etiology, Molecular Pathogenesis, Prevalence and more. In 1965, a French neurologist, Dr Jean Dennis Aicardi, described 8 children with infantile spasm-in-flexion, total or partial agenesis of the corpus callosum, and variable ocular abnormalities. This clinical scenario, already reported in 1949, was recognized as an entity distinct from congenital infections. An additional 7 patients were described in 1969, and in 1972, Dennis and Bower established the Aicardi syndrome designation. Further patient study demonstrated other less consistent characteristics outside the classic triad of findings. These additional characteristics include: ·...
