Description
"The Epilepsies: Seizures, Syndromes and Management" is the latest work from one of the world's leading experts and offers an exhaustive account of the classification and management of epileptic disorders. In thirteen chapters, Dr Panayiotopoulos gives clear and didactic guidance on the diagnosis, treatment and ongoing management of the full spectrum of epileptic syndromes with an insight and perception that only he can bring to the subject. This text is published in full colour throughout and is complemented by a pharmacopoeia and CD ROM with patient video-EEGs. An attractive, clear page layout and the accompanying supplementary material help the reader to easily identify the key components of each disorder, syndrome and seizure. Drawing on the author's outstanding collection of video-EEGs the accompanying CD ROM is cross-referenced within the text thus providing the reader with both a clinical and visual description of the various epileptic disorders and further aiding diagnosis.
