The Treatment Of Epilepsy: Principles & Practice (Wyllie, Treatment of Epilepsy)

Thoroughly updated, the Fourth Edition of **The Treatment of Epilepsy: Principles and Practice** remains the most comprehensive single-volume clinical reference on the epilepsies. In one convenient source, the book provides a broad, detailed, and cohesive overview of seizure disorders and contemporary treatment options, bringing together the most vital work in the neurosciences, genetics, electroencephalography, pediatric and adult neurology, neuropharmacology, neurosurgery, and psychiatry. This edition includes a new chapter on the pharmacogenetics of antiepileptic medications, complete information on new drugs, and current guidelines for use of older drugs. Other chapters present fresh new material on epilepsy surgery and neuroimaging.

This large, wonderful book covers the whole of epilepsy from basic science to the most current treatments. In the four years since publication of the first edition, there have been developments in new antiepileptic drugs, advances in neuroimaging and surgical treatments, and deeper understanding of the pathophysiology of epilepsy. This second edition covers these changes in thorough detail. In my practice as an epileptologist, this is an indispensable text. However, this book should also be extremely useful for general neurologists who want a complete reference source on epilepsy. The book is broken down into six major sections: basic mechanisms of epileptogenesis; basic principles of electroencephalography; clinical epileptology; antiepileptic medications; epilepsy surgery; and psychosocial aspects of epilepsy. Each section contains multiple chapters, and each could stand on its own as a small text. Chapters are followed by extensive and current reference lists. Each chapter is written by different authors who are among the most productive and distinguished in the field of epilepsy. Yet, despite the fact there are over 130 separate authors, this is a cohesive text. This is also a reader friendly text. It contains plentiful, high quality illustrations and photographs. This is especially true in the section on electroencephalography, where multiple EEG tracings are reproduced. The table of contents is thorough and easy to use. This is one of the best written, most comprehensive texts available on the treatment of epilepsy.
