From Book News, Inc.
Although less dramatic than legionnaire's disease, toxic shock syndrome, or AIDS, severe congenital birth abnormalities are far more common, affecting two to four infants in every 100 births. This volume describes the methods used by dysmorphologists to gather clues from the history and physical examination and to outline the reasoning processes used to reach a meaningful diagnosis of myriad dysmorphic conditions. It is intended primarily for the instruction of house officers, fellows, and practicing physicians, and assumes a background in clinical medicine and, particularly, pediatrics.

Book Description
This text provides a systematic approach to the diagnosis of children with multiple birth defects. It outlines the embryologic origins of normal and abnormal physical development, describes the major and minor structural anomalies in each of 20 anatomic regions, and teaches techniques of observation and synthesis useful in dysmorphologic diagnosis. Medical specialists will find Dr. Aase's book invaluable both as an instructive tool and as a clinical reference guide.
