Description
This concise volume will provide the reader with a practical overview of this rapidly changing field, with particular emphasis on clinical issues, management options and current areas of debate and controversy. The information is balanced to appeal to the general physician, trainee and specialist neurologist alike. The volume covers diagnosis, classification and management options, and considers the cognitive and psychological aspects of the condition. Special issues of key importance to the patient such as school and employment, driving and alcohol consumption are also given careful consideration.
Drawing on the wealth of clinical experience of the authors in looking after adults and children with epilepsy respectively, this will be an invaluable addition to the library of any trainee or practising clinician involved in the management of epilepsy in either the primary or secondary care setting.
