The Early Diagnosis of Congenital Abnormalities

This is a gem of a book—small, compact, sparkling, a bit expensive for its size. It reflects the growing interest in congenital defects and the realization that early identification is the key to successful correction in an increasing number and variety of anomalies. The author, consultant pediatrician to Alder Hey and Olive Mount Children's Hospitals in Liverpool, addresses himself to obstetrician and pediatrician alike, placing special emphasis on the conditions which can be recognized or suspected during the four weeks preceding birth and in the neonatal period.
