The international team of authors and editors have provided over 200 clinical cases covering congenital and acquired conditions affecting all body systems in infants and children, and which present as emergencies. Topics include allergy, abuse, burns, fractures and other trauma, feeding problems, foreign bodies, genetic disorders, infections, poisoning, haematology, oncology, and much more. Cases appear in random order, reflecting practice in emergency medicine and surgery, and reinforce skills in investigation, diagnosis and treatment.

Indispensable for paediatricians in training and for all doctors and other health professionals dealing with emergencies involving children.
