Abstract

To evaluate the current situations in child neurology practice for the patients after adolescence, a questionnaire was sent to 205 child neurologists. Major issues encountered in such practice included inpatient facilities, community medical networks, a training system for adult medicine, and financial support for such patients. Not only a system for practice, but also a continuing information transfer system between child specialists and adult specialists is needed.
