Case Based Reviews in Pediatric Endocrinology

Case Based Reviews in Pediatric Endocrinology is a clinically oriented, case-driven resource designed to strengthen diagnostic reasoning and management skills in pediatric endocrinology. Organized into seven well-structured sections comprising twenty-four chapters, the book reflects the real-world spectrum of endocrine problems encountered in children. By using a case-based approach, it integrates clinical presentation, investigation, and management, enabling early recognition and appropriate treatment of endocrine disorders. The content spans core endocrine conditions as well as systemic and metabolic diseases that frequently mimic primary endocrine pathology, making it highly relevant to everyday clinical practice.
