Epilepsy is a complicated neurological condition with variable manifestations, numerous etiologies, and a diverse range of treatments. It is a chronic disease that, in many cases, can be controlled. However, treatment requires accurate clinical evaluation to allow intelligent treatment choices. Epilepsy has been designed to help clinicians develop these evaluation skills. Expert neurologists have distilled the evidence and combined their experience.

Hardcover. Etat : Near Fine. 1st Edition. Hardcover, xv + 285 pages, NOT ex-library. Book is clean and bright with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Boards show minor handling wear. Issued without a dust jacket. -- This clinician-focused guide from the Neurology in Practice series is designed as an essential tool for navigating the complexities of epilepsy at the bedside, in the clinic, and within the ICU. It bridges foundational knowledge with the realities of daily patient management, establishing a systematic approach that begins with the fundamentals of pathophysiology, classification, and etiology before moving into the core diagnostic toolkit. The book provides expert insights on leveraging bedside evaluation, EEG, and neuroimaging, including critical guidance on differentiating psychogenic nonepileptic episodes-a common and challenging diagnostic pitfall. The book's central strength lies in its comprehensive and pragmatic coverage of antiepileptic drug (AED) management. It offers detailed pathways for every stage of pharmacotherapy - from choosing, initiating, adjusting, and discontinuing medications, to providing vigilant guidance on adverse effects, drug interactions, and parenteral use. A dedicated pharmacopeia section serves as a quick-reference for the busy practitioner. Beyond daily management, the guide addresses crucial patient populations often requiring a specialized approach, including neonates, children, women of childbearing age, and the elderly. It also explores the full spectrum of treatment options for medically refractory cases, such as neurosurgery, vagus nerve stimulation, and the ketogenic diet. For high-stakes scenarios, dedicated chapters provide clear protocols for managing acute symptomatic seizures and status epilepticus in both the emergency and intensive care settings. Finally, the book looks beyond seizure control to address the profound long-term consequences of the condition, offering strategies for managing the medical, psychiatric, and cognitive comorbidities that significantly impact a patient's quality of life. Emphasizing a customized approach to this heterogeneous disorder, this volume distills expert experience into a practical, accessible format for everyday clinical decision-making.
