Benign childhood focal seizures and related epileptic syndromes

Abstract

This new book, The Epilepsies, details the most recent advances in epileptic seizures, epileptic syndromes and their management. It is based on the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) classification, and practice parameter and guidelines issued by the ILAE and other recognised medical authorities. Seizures and syndromes are explored in their scientific context and also include newly described seizures, syndromes and methodologies that, in my opinion, should be appreciated by practising physicians and should be considered in future ILAE revisions and practice parameters. This is in accord with the ILAE Task Force invitation to physicians to contribute to the shaping of future revisions.
