Epilepsy in Children and Adolescents - Hardcover

In general, I think this book very sound. It would be an excellent introduction for neurology residents and a good review for general paediatric neurologists who feel a bit out of touch with current treatments for epilepsy. (The Canadian Journal of Neurological Sciences, 1 September 2013) This is an exceptional read, unlike others in the way it addresses the treatment of children with epilepsy, rather than just the treatment of epilepsy.

This book provides the contemporary, caring guidance you need to diagnose and manage seizures in a young patient. Beginning with an overview of the classification of seizure syndromes, the authors take a practical approach to a common but complex clinical challenge. Aimed at both professionals and trainees in neurology, this book will also be a useful guide for all primary health professionals caring for pediatric patients with this condition. It is intended as a foundation for further study into pediatric epilepsy and to serve as a quick, up-to-date reference for the recognition, diagnosis, basic understanding, evaluation and management of this condition in children and adolescents.
