Central Nervous System

The neuropathology is the study of disease of nervous system tissue working closely with the clinical disciplines of neurology, neurosurgery, and metabolic experts. This chapter is far from being a comprehensive study of the brain and spinal cord but will allow dealing with the most common pediatric neuropathology topics, such as the holoprosencephaly and aprosencephaly. A session will be devoted to the neuropathology of the acardius or twin reversed arterial perfusion sequence.
