Handbook of epilepsy treatment - Simon D. Shorvon

The rate of progress in the understanding and treatment of epilepsy ahs been prodigious in recent years. Intensive scientific and clinical research has yielded much in the way of new drugs, new investigations and novel surgical approaches to this chronic condition.

Broadly based on the acclaimed The Treatment of Epilepsy, a comprehensive reference book for the specialist, the Handbook of Epilepsy Treatment is a concise and practical account of the subject which presents the very latest advances in the treatment of this condition. It emphasizes practical, clinical management and decision making rather than the more technical aspects of the underlyinmg science to fulfil its purpose as a working book for the day–to–day managemnt of patients. It is liberally illustrated with tables, diagrams and flowcharts as well as an 'at a glance' pharmacopoeia of both established and novel anti–epileptic drugs.
