Introduction to the Issue

This issue is the sixth case studies issue of the Seminars in Pediatric Neurology. The publication of interesting, unique, or instructive cases is a long standing tradition in medical education. The recent proliferation of medical and subspecialty journals has made it impossible for any physician, no matter how much of a Renaissance physician he or she may be, to keep up with the proliferation of new gene and new phenotype descriptions relative to the clinical practice of child neurology. I believe this avalanche of information is one (only one of many) of the drivers of the tendency for a practitioner to limit the scope of their practice to a narrow spectrum of conditions.
