Part of the Oxford Neurology Library, this concise pocketbook highlights the importance of epilepsy, its diagnosis, causation and acute and chronic treatment in both children and adults. The book places strong emphasis on the principles and practice of the pharmacological treatment of epilepsy, which has improved greatly in recent years with the introduction of many new antiepileptic drugs. Pharmacological, pharmacokinetic and therapeutic details of individual drugs are summarized in tables for rapid reference. Emergency and surgical therapies for epilepsy are also covered.
