Epilepsy is the most common neurological disorder of childhood, occurring both in children whose physical and cognitive states are otherwise normal as well as being a facet of a more generalized and severe brain disease. There are many manifestations of epilepsy and, therefore, a diversity of factors in underlying pathology, responses to treatment and prognosis. Full understanding requires knowledge of the basic science that underlies epilepsy and its causes, and an appreciation of cognitive, psychiatric and social factors. This book is a comprehensive and up-to-date review of all aspects of childhood epilepsy for the specialist neurologist or pediatrician with an interest in this area. The first edition was praised for its valuable clinical approach to examining the nature of epileptic syndromes, and to its appropriate and readable coverage of the underlying basic science, both features that are retained and expanded on in this update. Particular updates to the second edition include new developments in epidemiology, genetics, classification, imaging, drugs and treatment. It continues to provide invaluable support for the physician when confronted by a child with epilepsy.
