This book builds upon the bases for understanding embryology and its clinical indicationsMedical Embryology keeps its specific presentation with a combination of texts, detailed diagrams and clinical documents.  The book emphasises the importance of the clinical arena, with many examples caused by to developmental abnormalities.  In each chapter, the clinical applications, summaries of the key points, "problems to solve" in the form of frequently asked questions and the glossary will assist students in their work and learning.

Prematurity and congenital malformations are major causes of death and handicap in children and new strategies can improve conditions for pregnancy and childbirth.  Health professionals have a major role to play in implementing this knowledge and these advances.  Knowledge of the bases of embryology is a prerequisite for these strategies to be successful and each person working in the health system can contribute to the better health of children.
