Pattern of Malformation Differential Diagnosis by Anomaliees
Winner of the BMA Medical Book Awards 2022 Paediatrics and Child Health Category
“While individual conditions are rare, for paediatricians, managing patients with rare diseases is a part of our core work. This reference book is written in a clear, diverse, and accessible fashion, with an excellent range of clinical photographs and diagrams to deliver the key messages in a concise format. This will be a very valuable resource to determine the diagnosis and improve the management of patients with dysmorphology.”
