ABSTRACT

Providing a pictorial representation of this common and chronic disorder of the nervous system, this revision of the best-selling Atlas of Epilepsy complements existing textbooks.

Covering diagnosis by EEG, pathology and neuroimaging, plus valuable material on prognosis and management, the second edition of this highly acclaimed title builds on the success of its predecessor to include:

  • many new images
  • radically improved and updated neuroradiology scans
  • a complete update of the section on therapy
  • images that are fully integrated with the text, thus improving the work’s the visual and didactic impact.

Useful as a source of illustrations for neurologists, this is also an excellent introduction to epilepsy for trainees, primary care practitioners and family medicine practitioners.
