There is a considerable need for a concise handbook available for the student of epilepsy, typically medical students, Neurology residents and Epilepsy or Neurophysiology fellows. Epilepsy is a rapidly evolving field and the available books are large, unwieldy and infrequently updated. This book fills this need by providing a concise review on the evolving field of epilepsy. It's aimed for the medical student or resident rotating through epilepsy and EEG, a fellow preparing for the ABPN epilepsy board, or an epilepsy specialist seeking to quickly brush up your knowledge in the field. Chapters cover the critical areas of classification, EEG, clinical features, medication management, surgical management, and other topics. This books brings the latest research and best practices together into a streamlined resource, offering a personal touch stemming from the experience of academic epileptologists.
