PRINT REFERENCE BOOKS

1.) Parker, James N.; Parker, Philip M. “The Official Parent’s Sourcebook on Hydrocephalus”. (2002). Icon Health Publications: San Diego.

This is a sourcebook created for parents who have decided to make education and Internet-based research on Hydrocephalus an essential part of the treatment process. Although it gives information useful to health professionals such as doctors and caregivers, it also tells parents where and how to look for information covering virtually all topics related to Hydrocephalus, from the basics to the most advanced areas of research. The book uses resources from academic, public, government and peer-reviewed research. Also included are excerpts from readings of special agencies that have been reproduced to provide some of the latest official information available to date on Hydrocephalus.

 

2.) Chen, Harold. “Atlas of Genetic Diagnosis and Counseling”. (2006). Humana Press: Totowa, N.J.

The Atlas of Genetic Diagnosis and Counseling is a pictorial atlas of over 200 genetic syndromes and disorders. It provides an outline of what Hydrocephalus is describing genetics, defects, clinical features, tests, diagnosis, treatments, and counseling. It also includes photographs of ultrasounds and MRI scans from patients of all different ages and stages of the illness. The book is kind of intense and is mainly a good resource for those with a clinical degree.
