The second edition of the treatment of Epilepsy is a crucial resource in the field, concentrating on the medical and surgical evaluation and treatment of the condition. Contributions from global experts enhance the book's coherence and focus. It serves as a solid reference for those involved in the evaluation and care of epilepsy patients. The diversity of epilepsy types and available treatments makes successful management complex, often requiring careful analysis of numerous variables. Recent advances in medical and surgical treatments have further complicated this process, leaving unresolved issues and controversies. Many existing texts either emphasize biology and phenomenology over therapy or fail to adequately balance medical and surgical approaches. This book strives to be the definitive guide on both medical and surgical treatments, functioning as a practical clinical reference. It distills the literature rather than presenting individual research, addressing the varied questions faced in everyday clinical practice. Clinicians will find guidance through the challenging decision-making processes of diagnosis and therapy. The text includes a concise summary of recent developments in epileptology, followed by detailed discussions on drug treatment, including indications, pharmacology, toxicity, and outcomes, as well as comprehensive coverage of surgical treatment, patient selection, techniques, complications, and outcomes.
