Practical guide to epilepsy - Mark R Manford

Epilepsy is a common neurological condition and is frequently dealt with by non-specialists, and even non-neurologists. Diagnosis is difficult and treatment increasingly complex, including therapeutic and surgical options. This book offers a comprehensible approach, including the basic science, which forms the basis for the diagnosis and management of epilepsy. Current issues are addressed with clarity and include the most recent clinical findings.

This book is part of a series designed to fulfil the need for a simple guide to common neurological disorders for the non-specialist, who is required to diagnose and manage these conditions as part of their clinical practice.
