Dancing Eyes Dancing Feet

In this illuminating book, Josh Bonkowsky, a pediatric neurologist, describes how he treats the intriguing children he meets in his Utah clinic. They have mysterious and rare neurological illnesses, which can cause devastating seizures, neurodegeneration, or even symptoms like "e;dancing eyes, dancing feet"e; (the signature symptoms of Opsoclonus-Myoclonus Syndrome). This book tells the story of those children, and their families' struggles, losses, and triumphs. It's also an inspiring look at the revolution in pediatric neurology and personalized medicine, and how it is transforming the lives of children with these disorders. The profound changes in diagnosis and treatment in pediatric neurology, especially in the past five years, offers real hope to young children with life-destroying neurological diseases. It shows what happens when individuals and society choose to lead towards good. "e;This extraordinary and deeply empathetic book bridges the gap between the revolutionary breakthroughs in modern medical science and their profound impact on the lives of the children these advances are striving to save. There is perhaps no one better suited to translate the nuances of cutting-edge science for those not fluent in its language than Dr. Josh Bonkowsky."e; Ron Chapleau, Board of Directors, President, United Leukodystrophy Foundation
