This monograph comprehensively covers all aspects of epilepsy relevant to the management of an epileptic patient in practice. A clinical approach is maintained throughout this discussion making it easy to assimilate the material presented. Considerable weightage has been given to the elicitation of the history, as this is the most important aspect in the assessment of a person with seizures, leading to appropriate and efficient management. The types of epilepsy and the epileptic syndromes described provide insight into the evaluation and analysis of the possible ethology of the seizures. Advances in the evaluation of epilepsy, including presurgical evaluation, have been dealt with quite extensively. The various currently available antiseizure medications have been highlighted including the management of status epilepticus. The role of surgery, the procedures, and the indications have also been elucidated to familiarize the reader with the current surgical options. Added noteworthy features in this monograph are the discussions on breakthrough seizures, drug-resistant seizures, and epilepsy in special populations, including the novel New Onset Epilepsy in Adults (NOEA). The key points are highlighted after each discussion for a quick recap.
