Revue de presse

...a terrific book for physicians to offer their patients and for healthcare professionals who need a quick update on the field of seizures and epilepsy. Given the rapid changes in therapy, diagnosis, and genetics, this third edition was clearly needed. (Doody's Notes (Dr. Joseph Sirven, Mayo Clinical Hospital))
